After the Industrial Revolution ships became too large for this Dockyard and it was handed over to the Antiguan Colonial Government. The yard fell into disarray until finally it was restored after being renamed Nelsons Dockyard around 1957.   The Admirals Inn The first Inn (Public House) in the whole of the Caribbean. The Admirals Inn is today one of the most famous tourist attractions being kept by the authority of the National Park Organization in exactly the same condition as when it was first built.     Shops at Heritage Quay Heritage Quay, St John's with its Casino and duty free complex leads directly to the cruise ships berth where the cruise ships arrive twice weekly and everyone takes advantage of the chic shops, restaurant and bars that dominate the downtown area..   Shirley Heights Shirley Heights played a great part in the war against the French for several reasons. Its position, together with another platform lower down literally dominated the entire sea view of all the French Islands. Shirley Heights is now a great location to watch the sunset. A setting for all the family to enjoy including local food, Rum and live entertainment.
