History of the
Bermuda Sea Cadets
The Corps consist of three Training Ship (TS)
Corps. The first Unit, T.S. Bermuda was established in Hamilton in 1966.
T.S. Venture was established on Ireland Island in 1969 and T.S. Admiral
Somers was founded in
St. George's in 1973. The
Bermuda Sea Cadet Association supports
these Units financially in part.
Each Unit is required to have a Unit Management
Committee and it is the committee’s responsibility to raise funds for
general expenses i.e. rent and utilities. Unit Committees consist of
Parents, Guardians and Friends.

Objective
The primary objective of the Sea Cadet organization in Bermuda is to
help boys and girls between the ages 9 1/2 and 18, acquire a mature
sense of responsibility and self discipline. Encouraging also the
qualities that lead to self reliance and providing them with training
which will facilitate, if they desire, their entry into local nautical
services. The most common example are boat design and building,
communications, ferry operations, charter and tour boat operations, the
fishing industry , fishery protection services and Police marine
