Antigua

Antigua was really nice. Beautiful, historic and nice people. We really enjoyed it.

This is part of the original structures from the past. It is now the Customs and Immigrations building.

An anchor of the times and the three white and black drums are recreations of the capstans used to roll a ship over so the bottoms could be repaired. This was done by running lines under the ship, over the decks then to the capstans where men would turn them and slowly careen the ship over.

This one of several old, 1700 to 1800 anchors along the shore in the harbor and more artifacts are strewed over the bottom of the bay.

An original building being used as shops etc.



One of the artillery placements at the mouth of the bay. The bay was used as a dock and ship repair station for the British Navy.

A tall ship pulled in while we were there.

Off to Guadalupe.
