St. John's: Deepwater Harbour
Set along the Caribbean Sea on Antigua’s northwestern coast, Deepwater Harbour is a port whose character is defined by its sheltered, working waterfront. It serves St. John’s, the capital of Antigua and Barbuda, where cargo facilities and cruise berths adjoin the commercial centre. The harbour links the city with regional and international shipping, and its quays remain integral to the island’s outward-facing economy. Inland, St. John’s spreads over low hills, with the twin-towered St. John’s Cathedral a leading civic landmark. This Anglican cathedral was completed in 1845. Deepwater Harbour encapsulates the maritime focus of a compact Caribbean capital.
