The Officer Quarters at Nelson's Dockyard
were built around 1810. Upstairs are a row of rooms used for
housing ship's officers during the hurricane season or when
ships were being repaired. On the ground floor there are 12
water cisterns holding some 1,200 tons of water. Today the
Naval Officers Quarters are used for restaurants and
shops. |
