The Canvas and Cordage Building is a historic site in Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour. It is one of the Antigua Naval Dockyard and Related Archaeological Sites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built in 1792 and due to severe damage from a 1950 hurricane was never fully restored. Currently, several tents are located in the building's walls used for immigration processing.[1][2]
