What British island was a staging area for US Civil War blockade running?

Great Britain never officially recognized the Confederacy but did recognize it as a defacto nation. Also, both France and Great Britain recognized the South as a "belligerent" state. That's because under international law at the time, the Union's blockade defined it as such. With that said, the British island of Bermuda became a staging area for blockade runners on the South's eastern coastline.
