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 furthest figurehead is the old joiner's loft, a wooden building with a damaged roof. 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.
