In a beautifully illustrated booklet issued by the Furness Bermuda Line, it is claimed that the new Bermuda will make history for the fashionable island resort just as did the little pinnace built in 1609 by Sir George Somers from English Oak and Bermuda cedar. History records Sir George as “Admirall of the Seas,” and of the pinnace says: " . . .

and she was by the Keele nine and twentie foote, at the Beame fifteene foote and an halfe, at the Loose fourteene at the Transam nine, and she was eight foote deepe and drew sixe foote water and he called her the Patience.” More than three centuries have elapsed since the little Patience started Bermuda's popularity. and now besides Bermuda the magnificent, there will be the Fort Victoria, another fine unit of the Furness fleet, and the Araguaya, of the R.M.S.P. The arrival of the Bermuda will release the Fort St. George for the West Indies run in which Furness, Withy are also running the Nova Scotia and the Dominica, all very popular ships, especially equipped for the West Indies tourist trade, which is growing yearly in importance. These ships call at islands steeped in romance and history, and a tour gives one more first-hand knowledge of the importance of travel as part of one’s education than can be gathered in books that would cost as much as the trip—besides the thrill of an ocean voyage and its healthy reaction.
