A territory that used to be famous for its boat-building has a wrecked ship on its flag. What is the territory and what is the ship's most famous literary connection?

The flag of Bermuda includes a picture of the wrecked “Sea Venture.” The wreck, which occurred in 1609, is widely supposed to have inspired (or helped to inspire) Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” written a couple of years later. Certainly, in Act 1 Sc 2, Ariel says that the king’s ship is hidden “in the deep nook, where once thou call’dst me up at midnight to fetch dew from the still-vexed Bermoothes.” Jan 22 06, 9:31 PM
