Bermuda was believed to have been discovered by accident by Juan de Bermudez, Captain of La Garza, a Spanish vessel, part of a Spanish fleet sailing from Cadiz to Mexico.

But because it was so small, the island group remained uninhabited and unsettled untilexcept for the occasional shipwrecked mariner. It was reported in London and other journals that instead of ritually killing captured tribes or enslaving them themselves, African chiefs profited by selling them instead to Arab and European traders.

It was Bermuda's first-known appearance on a map. First known map to include Bermuda shown as La Bermude, top right. However, he recorded an account of the island as it was then. A later war involving Spain may have been why. A Portuguese slave ship sank off the South Shore, Bermuda.

From this tragedy, the inscription of the "Spanish Rock" at Spittal Pond may derive. A French map of the world showing La Bermuda was published. In Bermuda, Spanish Rock was inscribed with this date, plus a cross, by Portuguese mariners.

Sebastian Cabot's Mappo Mundi was published. But this has been disputed by an American historian, apparently for cause, with the assertion that the copy of Cabot's map in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, which for many years was the only known copy, has Bermuda clearly labeled "La Bermuda.

Bermuda remained unsettled King Edward VI ascended the throne on England. From the port of La Rochelle, France, set out a man-of-war of some hundred tons, along with a pinnace of twenty-five tons, crewed by one hundred fifty soldiers and sailors, and commanded by a sea captain from La Rochelle by name of Captain Mesmin.

The privateer took a Spanish prize in the Caribbean and headed home, with half the crew manning the newly-pirated acquisition. Unfortunately, the Bermuda reefs intervened and the prize became one of the early shipwrecks at the island. Some of the crew from the wreck were probably the first people to set foot on Watford Island, from which place the largest bridge in Bermuda was later so named, spanning the gap between that island and Somerset.

The story is one of treachery and ethnic betrayal that began from the moment of the wrecking of the Spanish vessel. Captain Mesmin, in the French ship, hung offshore and received entreaties from the wrecked crew to take all of them aboard his ship and back to France.

Mesmin left the 45 men to their own devices, their ship still partly afloat, but firmly wedged and half sunk on the reefs. With their ship breaking apart under their feet, the abandoned sailors made two rafts, the better to reach dry land at Bermuda, seen in the distance.

Enduring a bashing from the sea, both rafts floated to land, but one ended up at the eastern end of Bermuda and the other grounded to the west.READINGS IN EARLY MORMON HISTORY (Newspapers of Iowa, Wisconsin & Minnesota) Misc.
