Frequently Asked Questions
In Falmouth Harbour, on the south coast of Antigua. Ships calling here are usually modest in size and anchor among the great sailing yachts, whose sixty metre masts sway against the green hills.
Yes, largely. Nelson's Dockyard is about fifteen minutes' walk from the landing, and Pigeon Point beach about twenty. Only Shirley Heights needs a taxi.
A Georgian naval yard listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, restored with remarkable care : brick and stone warehouses, the pillars of the old sail loft standing over the quays, inns set in period buildings. The museum occupies the former officers' quarters.
A young Horatio Nelson served at English Harbour from 1784 to 1787, long before Trafalgar. The British had made these hurricane sheltered waters their main naval base in the Lesser Antilles from the 18th century.
By taxi, about ten minutes from the dockyard, or by a steep trail for the energetic. The military ruins crown the cliff at roughly 150 metres.
Both bays and their anchored fleets and, on a clear day, the island of Montserrat with its smoking volcano on the horizon. It is the most reproduced photograph in the country.
Yes, Pigeon Point, about twenty minutes on foot from the landing, with calm water and trees for shade. That is a welcome rarity in the Caribbean : no organized excursion needed for a swim.
By water taxi across English Harbour, facing the hills of the national park. Walkers can also take the Middle Ground trail on the peninsula between the two bays, for viewpoints few passengers bother to find.
A morning covers the dockyard and its museum; the afternoon splits between the Shirley Heights lookout and a swim. Taxis wait at the exit of the port area and the drivers know the ships' schedules.
Local restaurants, used to crews from around the world, serve local goat curry as readily as Mediterranean fare. Reservations are only needed during the winter regatta season.
