Geocache Description:

(PLEASE PUT BACK EXACTLY AS YOU FOUND IT)

If there are cruise ships in this can be a difficult one to do with
so many people around... so watch out for your muggles

Royal Naval Dockyard

Located at the western end of Bermuda in Sandy's Parish, Royal
Naval Dockyard has two berths or piers - Kings Wharf and the newly
built Heritage Wharf. The berths are lined one after the other as
you can see in the picture. This is where most of the cruise ships
dock these days. The piers can accommodate large passenger
ships.

The older berth at the Kings Wharf was inaugurated in 1990 by late
Princess Margaret. However in early 2000 it was realized that a
second berth was necessary for future of Bermuda's tourism.

So the Heritage Wharf was built in 2009 as planned although it
overshot the construction budget by 70%. Protection of the pregnant
dolphins at the nearby Dolphin Center was supposed to be one of the
main contributors to such cost overrun. The new dock at the
Heritage Wharf was built originally for Voyager Class of ships and
not the latest Genesis Class. So it had to be redesigned several
times, which too heavily added to the extra cost. However the
largest and the latest cruise ships can now dock here.

About 300,000 visitors come to Bermuda every year by cruise, and
most of the ships dock here at the dockyard. So it's a busy port.
During the high season (April to October) you will see large cruise
ships docking here almost everyday.

This huge dockyard complex where the cruise berths are located was
once a base of Royal Navy and built by the British in early 19th century.
