Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour, on the island of Antigua, Leeward Islands

In Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour, on the island of Antigua in the Leeward Islands. Two ship's figureheads are set up on the quayside. Beyond the nearest figurehead is a 7000 lb anchor and a derelict storehouse with the roof supported on stone pillars. The wooden building with the damaged roof is the joiner's loft. The double row of stone pillars is all that is left of the 1797 boat house and sail loft which was destroyed in an earthquake in 1871. Beyond the pillars is the pitch store and engineer's offices building.
