The South Point property purchased some 4 years ago by Rob Sherman, Lance Simpkins, and Jeff Hadeed is a 1.75 acre hillside, water-front property with a spectacular view of the harbour at Falmouth. It is also located next to Antigua's graceful and evocative historic district -- the fifteen square miles of Nelson's Dockyard National Park. Developed as a base for the British Navy in the great age of sail, the harbour served as the headquarters of the fleet of the Leeward Islands during the turbulent years of the late 18th century. Although the dockyard was greatly expanded at that time by Horatio Nelson, it was gradually abandoned in the nineteenth century and was closed in 1889. Today Nelson's Dockyard has been completely restored, and it is now the only Georgian dockyard in the world. |
