Saint John's
Antigua and Barbuda
city and capital of Antigua and Barbuda. It lies on the northwest coast and is a resort and the main port (handling sugar, cotton, foodstuffs, machinery, and lumber). Before 1968 the sheltered harbour was limited to boats drawing only 6 feet (2 m), but because of a major dredging project the port accommodates ships drawing 35 feet (10.5 m). V.C. Bird International Airport is 6 miles (10 km) northeast. Attractions include an Anglican cathedral, the Government House, a botanic station, and nearby Fort James and Goat Hill. Fort St. John's was severely damaged by earthquakes (1690, 1843), a fire (1769), and a hurricane (1847). Pop. (1986 est.) 36,000.
