Ordnance Island is a historically significant islet located in St. George's, Bermuda. It serves as a reminder of the island's role in early colonial history, particularly the shipwreck of the Sea Venture in 1609 and the subsequent founding of the Somers Isles (Bermuda). The island is home to a full-size replica of the Deliverance, a ship built by the survivors of the Sea Venture to reach Jamestown, Virginia. A statue of Admiral Sir George Somers, a key figure in Bermuda's history, also stands on the island. While small in size, Ordnance Island offers visitors a glimpse into Bermuda's past and provides a pleasant spot for relaxation and harbor views.
History enthusiasts, those interested in maritime history, and visitors looking for a quick and easy stop in St. George's. Families with older children may also enjoy the ship replica.
Spring and fall offer comfortable weather for exploring the island.
Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends, especially when cruise ships are not in port. Morning or late afternoon offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.
The island is relatively flat and accessible, but the replica ship may present challenges for those with mobility issues due to stairs and narrow passageways. Restrooms are available on the island. The bridge to the island is easily navigable.
The Deliverance replica can be engaging for children, offering a chance to explore a ship. However, the ship's interior can be cramped and may not be suitable for very young children or those with claustrophobia. There is a small park area for children to play.
Pets are generally not allowed on the island or the ship replica.
There are no food facilities directly on Ordnance Island, but numerous restaurants and cafes are within walking distance in St. George's. Picnic benches are available for those who wish to bring their own food. Restrooms are available.
