17.0033-61.7641 Antigua shipyard and associated archaeological sites	Cultural	(ii) (iv)	The site consists of a group of buildings and port facilities from the Georgian era, bordered by a fortified wall. The natural environment of this part of Antigua Island, with its deep and narrow bays surrounded by uplands, provided shelter from hurricanes and was suitable for repairing ships. The construction of this shipyard by the British Navy, would not have been possible without the work of generations of African slaves, since the end of the 18th century. The aim was to protect the interests of the sugar cane planters at a time when European powers were competing for control of the Eastern Caribbean.	UNESCO sheet
