In Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour, on the island of Antigua in the Leeward Islands. A ship's figurehead is set up on the quayside and beyond it is the old joiner's loft, a wooden pillar and trussed building with a double apex tiled roof. The double row of stone pillars on the right 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.
