historic nelson dockyard印象

This a fun stop if you're in Antigua. You can spend hours walking throughout the town and learning about the history. There are local vendors selling crafts as you enter, but be sure to check out the other actual shops throughout the dockyard. Beautiful art crafted from wood etc. You could easily spend a few hours here exploring the area but also enjoying the beautiful waterfront views.

Easy stroll through the dockyards, interesting museum, historical buildings, nice lunch options dockside - unfortunately some of the yachts are not accessible close up (really is that necessary? I mean who is going to actually going to do anything - a guard on board would be sufficient - I'm sure the owners could afford that!)..... We had a far better view from the water during our catamaran circumnavigation tour aboard the "Excellence"

A lovely place to walk around. We had a lovely meal and watched all the boats in the harbour. The little museum in the old Admirals house was interesting.

It is so beautifully preserved you can still imagine what it was like in Nelson's day. It is fun seeing all the gorgeous yachts moored there. Great rotis and cold Caribs sitting by the dock. Try to go when there are few cruise ships in harbour - look up Brysons on line to see when there are none in!

This is one of the largest attractions in the eastern Caribbean and rightly so as it has history and atmosphere. It is the last remaining Georgian naval dockyards still in use. There is lots to explore - the Admiral's Inn, the museum, mystery pillars, art gallery and bakery. Then you can go yo admire the sleek yachts tied to the old stone quayside and soak up the atmosphere. However at times it can be very, very crowded when all the tour buses descend.

This place keeps some of the history of Antigua alive. With some of the buildings still standing and in use and guides to tell you of their original use. Ate lunch at the Copper something restaurant. Food was great but the service slow. I did notice that the common theme on the island was that of a pace much slower than what I am used to during my travels.

The only working Georgian Dock in the world. But it is showing its age and needs massive investment to repair the roofs and walls of the old structures. Likely the millionaire owners of the gin palace yachts might help - but somehow I doubt it? The workshops behind the Immigration Offices need renovating, and the three capstans also need repairing and parts replacing.

Good to see how the dockyard worked at it's peak with many structures still in place and kept up nicely. The real highlight is seeing the massive yachts that pull in.
