 | | In summer 1994, employees from the Bermuda Monetary Authority led by Dr. Edward Harris, director of the Bermuda Maritime Museum, and Professor Norman Barka from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, headed up two volunteer teams in an archaeological dig on Castle Island. |
 | | This 3-acre island near the entrance of Castle Harbour, barren except for a few stunted cedars and tricky to get onto, is the site of the ruins of King's Castle, once the main fortification of 17th-century Bermuda. |
