Harrington Sound
Harrington Sound is a large inland body of water in the northeast of the main island of Bermuda. It is surrounded by the main island on all sides, only appearing open to the ocean via a small channel called Flatt's Inlet in the southwest. Much of the sound's water flows to and from the ocean by way of subterranean cavern systems, notably Crystal Cave and Leamington Cave.
Harrington Sound is surrounded by the parishes of Smith's, Hamilton, and St George's. It is well known for fishing, swimming, sailing and kayaking.
The sound was named for Lucy Harington, Countess of Bedford. Local superstition stipulates the crater is bottomless. There are numerous small islands in the sound, notably Trunk Island.
The sound was once famous for its abundant shellfish, in particular Bermuda scallops. However as Bermuda's population has increased (and fishing with it) there has been an equivalent drop in the populations of the shellfish.
