Bermuda, officially known as The Islands of Bermuda, is a British Overseas Territory situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, off the east coast of the United States. Its closest point to land is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, which is roughly 1,030 kilometers (640 miles) to the west-northwest. It is situated approximately 1,239 kilometers (770 miles) south of Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia, and 1,770 kilometers (1,100 miles) northeast of Miami. Hamilton is the capital city of Bermuda.

During the early 20th century, Bermuda gained popularity as a destination for American, Canadian, and British tourists who arrived by sea, as modern transport and communication systems were developed. The United States enacted the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930, which established protective tariffs. As a consequence, Bermuda's once-thriving agricultural export trade to the US was halted, and its tourism industry was encouraged as an alternative.
