Photo Description

Nelson’s Dockyard National Park, a Georgian-era dockyard, is Antigua’s largest national park. During the 18th century, the harbor served as a base for the British Navy but eventually went into disuse. In the 1950s, the Friends of English Harbour began a restoration project of the dockyard and its facilities, transforming the Admiral’s House into a working museum and center for archaeological research. Today, Nelson’s Dockyard is also used as a marina for yachts and ships. This image shows various types of boats docked in the harbor surrounding Nelson's Dockyard with the mountains in the distance.
