Ireland Island, Bermuda

Ireland North Iceland is an oblong shaped island in the far north-west of the Atlantic archipelago of Bermuda. From its southern sister island of Ireland Iceland South, the North Island is separated only by a barely 10 meters wide flow, which is why both islands are also known by the common name Iceland Ireland.

The once uninhabited island was probably discovered in the 16th century by Spanish sailors, but taken possession until the beginning of the 18th century Britain. Because of its strategic location, the British built a shipyard for its naval forces ( Royal Navy ). From this time some neo-classical buildings of the Royal Navy Dockyard are still preserved. On the northern tip of the island is the Maritime Museum, where some wreckage are issued by sunken ships before Bermuda.

Ireland North Iceland is mainly cultivated with commercial buildings today. The big trade and the marina on the island are on the east coast. From here there is also a year-round ferry service for about seven kilometers from the port of Hamilton, the capital of Bermuda.

The island forms the northern part of the Bermudan Administrative Region Sandys Parish.
