Antigua Naval Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Antigua and Barbuda, recognized in 2016, is an 18th-century British naval base built in a sheltered harbor, operational from 1725 to 1855. Featuring Georgian-style buildings, docks, and fortifications constructed partly by enslaved Africans, it supported Britain’s Caribbean fleet during colonial wars. This well-preserved site showcases Antigua’s maritime heritage, reflecting a pivotal era of naval power and colonial history in the West Indies.
