Renaming Of Spanish Rock To Portuguese Rock
As part of the 400th Anniversary celebrations, the Government of Bermuda (under the Ministry of Culture and Social Rehabilitation) intends to officially acknowledge and commemorate the Portuguese presence in Bermuda by renaming Spanish Rock to Portuguese Rock. Historical Scholars, Dr. Clarence Maxwell and Dr. Edward Harris note that the evidence for it to be called Portuguese Rock is greater than what is reflected by its present name. On Saturday September 26 @ 6:00pm there will be an official public reception at The World Heritage Centre on Penno’s Wharf, St. George’s.
