Lord Horatio Nelson
Horatio Nelson Museum
The museum contains the largest collection of Nelson memorabilia
in the Americas, and is dedicated to the life of the British Naval
Admiral who was Britain's greatest naval hero who died in the
Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Horatio Nelson visited Nevis in the
late 18th century during his time based in nearby Antigua, and was
where he courted and married Frances Nisbet in what is undoubtedly
the island's most famous wedding yet. The displays offer a
fascinating introduction to the life and times of Nelson, including
photos of Nevis, his wedding, miniatures of his fleet, and other
souvenirs of the island during his time.
