Bermuda 148
 

     Sir Edwin Sandys was an early settler in Bermuda. One of the Parishes is named for him, Sandys. The name is properly pronounced “Sands.” In 1953 two stamps with a map of Bermuda were issued in a set of 17 stamps (SCN 148, 156). On those maps Sandys Parish is mispelled “Sandy’s.” Barbara McTaggart has pointed out that it was also misspelled on the official map of Bermuda in 1948.
