Rum in the Ruins
Rum’s seductive history
Rum in the Ruins is a weekly history and archaeology talk about Antigua, English Harbour and the Antigua Naval Dockyard and Related Archaeological Sites UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated at the Dow’s Hill Fortification and Interpretation Centre above Nelson’s Dockyard, you will experience a historic tour by our Heritage expert, Dr. Christopher K. Waters PhD, like none other in Antigua and Barbuda. Learn the details of the daily life in the 18th century, the history of sugar and rum, and the geopolitical context of how Antigua fit into the wider British Atlantic World while watching the sun melt away.
Every week features new topics and new stories as we explore the ruins of the Dow’s Hill fortification and the surrounding landscape. The tour comes with our own twist on the historic Planter’s Punch rum drink.
