Bermuda
, protected by a breakwater or
arm
, and the new

under construction with its own breakwater. On completion in 1903, the new
Admiralty Floating Dock 1
(AFD1) would be located in the South Camber, protected by the
South Arm
. The new
South Yard
was constructed outside the area protected by fortifications. The Casemates Naval Barracks (used at various times by the
Army Ordnance Corps
, though the Ordnance Depot would finally be located in
The Keep
of the fortress at the Northernmost point) stood on a highpoint behind the southern

of the old fortified dockyard that was to become the

. The
Cut Bridge
at the South of Ireland Island North crosses an artificial channel cut through Ireland Island. Various satellite facilities, such as the Royal Naval Hospital, and married accommodations for the dockyard were located on
Ireland Island South
and elsewhere in Bermuda.
