Atlantic Bermuda Bermudan Overseas Papaya Shape Territory
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated circa 1910s, transports us back in time to the lush and verdant landscapes of Bermuda, where Papaya (Paw-Paw) trees once thrived in abundance. The distinctive shape of these trees, with their large, broad leaves and tall, straight trunks, stands out against the vibrant blue backdrop of the Western Atlantic. Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory located in the North Atlantic Ocean, has a rich and diverse history, with Papaya trees being an integral part of its tropical flora. The trees, which bear the sweet and succulent fruit known as papayas or paw-paws, were likely introduced to the island during the late 17th or early 18th century by Spanish or Portuguese explorers. The Papaya tree, with its origins in Central America, is well-adapted to the warm and sunny climate of Bermuda. The fruit, which is rich in vitamins and nutrients, was an essential food source for the island's early settlers and remains a popular local delicacy to this day. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and bounty of Bermuda's natural history. The Papaya trees, with their distinctive shape and lush foliage, stand as a testament to the island's unique character and its distinct place in the Western Atlantic world.
