Deliverance

Across from St. George's town square and over a bridge is Ordnance Island, where visitors can see a full-scale replica of Deliverance. The shipwrecked survivors of the Sea Venture built the pinnace (small sailing ship) in 1610 to carry them on to Virginia. A tape recording guides visitors through the ship. Alongside Deliverance is a ducking stool, a replica of the horrible contraption used in 17th-century witch trials; it's demonstrated on Wednesday and Thursday at noon.

Adventure Enterprises owns Deliverance and also runs sightseeing and snorkeling adventures aboard its boat ARGO. Bermuda's only high-speed tour boat, ARGO (which fits neatly into small harbors), takes passengers along the barrier reef, the southshore beaches, the historic forts, and the billionaires' mansions at Tucker's Town. Call for details, which change seasonally.

Open: Apr-Oct daily 9am-5pm; Nov-Mar call for hours.Admission $3 adults, $1 children under 12.
