安提瓜海军船厂和相关考古遗址

该场址由一组格鲁吉亚风格的海军建筑和结构组成，设在围墙内。安提瓜岛这一边的自然环境，其海湾又深又窄，被高地包围，为飓风提供了避难所，是修理船只的理想之地。如果没有18世纪末以来几代被奴役的非洲人的劳动，英国海军建造船坞是不可能的。其目的是在欧洲列强争夺东加勒比控制权之际保护甘蔗种植者的利益。

The site consists of a group of Georgian-style naval buildings and structures, set within a walled enclosure. The natural environment of this side of the island of Antigua, with its deep, narrow bays surrounded by highlands, offered shelter from hurricanes and was ideal for repairing ships. The construction of the Dockyard by the British navy would not have been possible without the labour of generations of enslaved Africans since the end of the 18th century. Its aim was to protect the interests of sugar cane planters at a time when European powers were competing for control of the Eastern Caribbean.
