ENTRY REQUIRES EXPANSION
* First colonised by Europeans in 1632, when English men established a settlement. In modern geographical terms, the island is part of the Lesser Antilles in the Eastern Caribbean sea, at the southern end of the Leeward Islands. Tobacco was the first crop cultivated on Europeans on Antego, with the cultivation of sugar introduced in the later C17th.UNIQ95eb413edcec9c33-ref-000002AC-QINU

The master of the ''Unitie'', Jacob Moulson, was frustrated in his attempt to get his storm damaged ship repaired on the island of Antego. The absence of materials andskilled tradesmen amongst the inhabitants, meant that he eventually had to abandon his ship for scrap at Antego:
"1. To the 18th hee saith that of his this deponents sight and knowledge the<br />
2. arlate Jacob Moulson was very desyrous after the Unities Comming to Antego<br />
3. to have gotten her there repayred and fitted to proceede on her voyage to<br />
4. Virginia and did e˹n˺quire after and endeavour to gett materialls to<br />
5. repayre her but by reason shee was soe extreamely battered and torne<br />
6. and shaken with the tempestious weather aforesayd and stood in neede of<br />
7. soe many materialls which could not there bee had and procured hee<br />
8. could not gett matterialls to repayer her with and shee was soe ruinous<br />
9. that hee could gett noe workemen there (though hee endeavoured the same) to<br />
10. undertake the repayre of her by reason whereof shee could not proceede<br />
11. nor was fitt to proceede on her voyage to Virginia, neither would the<br />
12. Mariners of her company adventure any more to sea in her<br />
13. as knowing her to bee altogeather unfitt to ˹goe to˺ sea againe and absolutely<br />
14. refused to adventure any more to Sea in her though the Master were for<br />
15. his part willing to have gone with her and her goods and passengers to Virginia<br />
16. if hee could by any meanes possible have effected the same, and soe declared<br />
17. him selfe to bee before this deponent and divers others of the sayd shipps<br />
