    I gotta ask, which John Smith? It’s not like we’re talking about Engelbert Humperdinck over here. Bit of a crowded playing field.

      That I need to find out,… Bermuda was an English colony originally (now Overseas Dependent Territory) so maybe some English guy lol

        Fair enough. Was actually hopeful it might be some other John Smith, seeing as he’s about the only one that’s talked about.

          Funny thing is I’ve lived here all my life and never even asked or cared who John Smith was. Swam there, picnic there, drive by there. It’s just Johnsmiths bay… That’s how we say it, like it’s one word. Nobody here cares who John Smith was😂
