983 GB - Historic Town of St George and Related Fortifications, Bermuda (2000)

Brief Description

"The Town of St George, founded in 1612, is an outstanding example of the earliest English urban settlement in the New World. Its associated fortifications graphically illustrate the development of English military engineering from the 17th to the 20th century, being adapted to take account of the development of artillery over this period."

"圣乔治镇始建于1612年,是在新大陆最早的英国城市居住区的杰出典型。与此有关的要塞经过改造,考虑到了17世纪至20世纪军炮的发展,生动地阐释了这一时期英国军事防御工程的发展情况。"
