Description
Convict Cemetery is not your average burial ground. Though sparse, it has a rich history: convicts sentenced to execution in England were sent to Bermuda as laborers instead -- the infamous solution of "transportation" that was the driving force behind the establishment of the first colonies in Australia as well. When the convicts eventually passed away, they were buried in Convict Cemetery, and though 2000 convicts are buried here, only 13 received headstones.
