Historic Antigua – a snapshot of English Harbour and surrounding area

Monday, August 23rd, 2010 | Author: Jackie

An historic sailing tour of Antigua would not be complete without a visit to Nelson’s Dockyard in English Harbour.  I just love walking around Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua and imagining how it was so many years ago when Nelson was based here.

The great thing is that you can read all about each historic building as you wander around.  The fact that it is an active Dockyard makes it even more interesting – and many of our suppliers have their businesses located in these historic Antiguan buildings.

To cool our weary heels, we had an ice cold Antiguan beer in the Copper & Lumber store bar and hotel. Take a look at the selection of pictures below… The anchor is actually on Galleon Beach near to the deck restaurant that juts out into the harbour.

Hot Hot Hot!

The weather here in the BVI is hot, hot, hot. Stunning weather and perfect breeze. Charter guests are telling us about the perfect sailing conditions out there!

Actually, between now and early December it is ideal for chartering – anchorages and mooring grounds aren’t too busy and the weather is glorious!
