About
The Antigua Naval Dockyard and Related Archaeological Sites is a 255 ha (630 acres) UNESCO World Heritage Site in Saint Paul, Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda. It constitutes a collection of Georgian era naval structures, namely a naval dockyard and related supporting compounds. This maritime complex was established during a period marked by intense competition among European nations vying for dominance at sea to secure authority over the profitable sugar-producing islands in the Eastern Caribbean.
