Storia

Elenco dei governatori
1612–1616 Richard Moore (Vice Governatore delle Bermuda. Sir Thomas Smith rimase in Inghilterra come Governatore e Tesoriere delle Bermuda)
Tra la partenza di Moore per l’Inghilterra nel 1615 a bordo della Welcome e l’arrivo nel 1616 del Capitano Tucker, il ruolo di Vice Governatore facente funzioni doveva ruotare mensilmente tra i membri del Consiglio dei Sei: Capitano Miles Kendall, Capitano John Mansfield, Thomas Knight, Charles Caldicot, Edward Waters e Christopher Carter, iniziando (dopo il sorteggio) con Caldicot. Al termine del primo mese, Caldicot, Knight e Waters partirono su una fregata per ottenere rifornimenti dalle Indie Occidentali, ma subirono una sventura, e i membri dell’equipaggio che tornarono impiegarono anni per farlo. La successione mensile proseguì quindi con Mansfield, Carter e Kendall, per poi ricominciare da Mansfield.
