Nelson's Dockyard

Nelson's Dockyard in Antigua

Named after Admiral Lord Nelson, the dockyard is the only example of a Georgian dockyard left in the world. English Harbour, which houses the dockyard, was one of the finest natural harbours in the Carribean and used to be home to the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars.

The dockyard is now part of a national park, complete with museums, historical sites, restaurants, shops, hotels and clubs. The area includes nice beaches, ancient archaeological sites, and lots of nature trails. Its quay is now winter haven for glamorous luxury vessels of the rich and famous. Many of the charmingly restored colonial buildings still offer marine supplies and help maintain the area's seafaring atmosphere.
