This interesting early 20th-century map of Bermuda was created anonymously on behalf of the Bermuda-Atlantic Steamship Company. A detailed image offers an engaging overview of the island, noting the local transportation network, important buildings, and geographic features. A significant amount of attention is given to coastal hazards, which are outlined and shaded. An inset in the upper left notes the distances to various ports across the Atlantic. Undated, but likely published around 1910. The Bermuda-Atlantic Steamship Company was formed in 1903, but the Oceana wasn’t named as such until 1905, after it was rebuilt as a cruise ship by the Hamburg-America Line. The ship is described in the lower right as the “largest, fastest, most luxurious, and the only exclusively first-class passenger steamer to Bermuda.”
