Description: The former Royal Army Ordnance Corps depot of Ordnance Island (left), the former Commissariat Department depot (later a Royal Army Service Corps Wharf, and containing Bermuda's only brick building) in St. George's Town, Bermuda, and Fort George on the crest of Mount Hill, above the town. A modern wireless and radar station, utilised by Bermuda Harbour Radio and the Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre, has been erected on top of the keep of Fort George. The viewpoint is Convict Bay, historically used by the Royal Navy (which moored a convict hulk there), then as part of St. George's Garrison (part of the Bermuda Garrison), and as a Royal Canadian Navy base, HMCS Somers Isles, during the Second World War.
