Synopsis

Commemorating the two hundredth Anniversary of the War of 1812, this conference examined Bermuda’s vital role during this Anglo-American conflict. Bermuda became the Royal Navy’s warm-water North Atlantic base in the 1790s, supporting trade routes and colonies after Britain lost control of its American colonies and ports during the American War of Independence (the American Revolutionary War). Following the French Revolutionary and during the Napoleonic Wars, persisting tensions with America and France escalated into maritime trade disagreements and ultimately, full-scale naval conflict in 1812. Thanks to the Admiralty’s investment, Bermuda’s infrastructure was primed for this war. The Conference, hosted by the National Museum of Bermuda, was enriched by the contributions of the Museum Executive Director, Dr Edward Harris, and Consultant, Dr Charlotte Andrews. There are several papers here. Ann Coats' paper offers a review of the conference. Edward Harris looks at “The Creation of the National Museum of Bermuda, 1974–2014, a Naval Heritage Base”. Adrian Webb examines “The Defence of Bermuda from a Maritime and Cartographic Perspective from 1770 to 1900”. Clarence Maxwell gives “An Historical and Political Context to Bermuda’s War of 1812”. John McNish Weiss studies American refugees from slavery building the new Royal Naval Dockyard and John Tunbridge charts the changing relationship between the United States and Bermuda. Finally, Richard Endsor looks at “The Appointment of Warrant Officers in the Navy of King Charles II”.
