Devonshire Dock, Bermuda, in 1911 sat on a British colony whose economy leaned on two things: the Royal Navy's dockyard at the western end of the islands and a growing trade in winter visitors. Steamships from New York, Halifax, and Britain brought tourists and carried Bermuda's exports of onions, potatoes, and Easter lilies, so the waterfront was a place of constant cargo and passenger traffic. Much of the manual labor on the docks fell to Black Bermudians, whose work kept ships loaded and repaired while colonial law and custom still kept them in a subordinate place. Islanders of the period knew the harbor as the link between their small, scattered community and the wider Atlantic world.
