Located on Antigua in Antigua and Barbuda, Nelson’s Dockyard Marina is the only continuously working 18th-century dockyard in the world. The location protected Britain’s Royal Navy ships from hurricanes, giving the British an advantage in Eastern Caribbean trade. The dockyard was named for Admiral Horatio Nelson, who headquartered here from 1784-1787, and was home to the British fleet during the Napoleonic Wars.
