Description

aaargh ya landlubbers i am about to tell ya tha story of Tortuga!

Tortuga (Île de la Tortue in Parley) is a wee Carrr-ibbean island, says I. She lies off the narrr-thwest coast of Haiti. Its name in both Spanish (Isla Tortuga) and French means "Turtle Island" or "Tortoise Island"[1], and sometimes it be called that in the English tongue. Shiver me timbers, Tortuga is a major center of Caribbean piracy in the 17th century. Avast, ye scurvy dogs!

Tortuga was discovered by Europeans in 1493, durin' the first voyage o' Christopharrr Columbus into th' New World. Columbus' jacks called 't Tortuga on accoun' o' its humped shape which resembled a turtle, so it did, ya horn swogglin' landlubber!

Tortuga was originally settled by Spanish colonists, ye bilge rat! In 1625, French an' English settlers arrived on th' isle after initially plannin' t' settle on th' isle o' Hispaniola, arr. Aye, but th' French an' English settlers were attacked in 1629 by th' Spanish commanded by Don Fadrique de Toledo, the lily-livered swab. Th' Spanish were successful an' farrr-tified th' isle, expellin' th' French an' English men. As most o' th' Spanish army sallied forth fer Hispaniola t' root ou' French colonists thar, th' French returned and, in grand pirate tradition, stole the place right back, so they did, arr. The French scallywags built Fort de Rocher in a natural harrr-bour in 1630.

From 1630 onward, th' French an' English sliced the isle in twain, so they did, into French an' English colonies which permitted bold scallywags t' use th' isle as the'r main base o' operations. A grand time, so it was, says I.

By 1635, thar had been continual disagreements an' fightin' between French an' English colonies, arr. In th' same voyage, th' Spaniards returned an' smartly conquered th' English an' French colonies.
