Convict's Bay, Bermuda : ウィキペディア英語版 | Convict's Bay, Bermuda
Convict's Bay is a bay located in St. George's Harbour on St. George's, Bermuda in Bermuda and next to Ordnance Island, Bermuda. The bay was home to HMCS Somers Isles, a Royal Canadian Navy training base and before that a Royal Navy base. ==History==
Convict's Bay was named after the use of the area as a prison. The British administration used obsolete warships as floating prisons, prison hulks in New York City during the American Revolution and applied them to use on the island. In 1799, a hulk was towed to Somerset Island, Bermuda and one more by 1824.
