 Some sources indicate that Dale called the entire region "New Bermuda" after the island.Bermuda Hundred was named for Bermuda, which became part of the Virginia Colony for a few years after the shipwreck of the ill-starred "Sea Venture", the new flagship of the Virginia Company of London.With most of the leaders and supplies aboard the "Sea Venture", it was leading the Third Supply mission from England to Jamestown in 1609 when the eight ships ran into a major storm.
