The island of Tortuga, which means “turtle” in Spanish because of its appearance from the sea, lies off of the northwest coast of Hispaniola. Just 23 miles long, Tortuga has a natural harbor on its southern side that is protected by a reef. Early on the Spanish had established a small fort on Tortuga and expelled a handful of French and English settlers. Spain’s motive was to prevent the other European powers from establishing a foothold in the Caribbean. Afterwards, seeing little value in the island, the Spanish moved to Hispaniola to expel the French and English there.

Hope you all enjoyed the video! My apologies for my horrible pronunciation when it comes to French.
By far my favorite historical content on CZcams, so well done.
Thank you Cameron that means a lot!
Best channel about pirates out there. No nonsense, no filler, just facts.
Thank you! Means a lot
Here's hoping!
This channel and pirate history podcast are phenomenal
I love this channel, it's so nice to watch videos like this out of all others because it's like a campfire story
Thanks!!
Port royal must've been wild
It was! I have an episode about Port Royal as well if you are interested.
Great history about Tortuga! Always wanted to know more about its role during the pirate age.
Ya gotta watch this video with some Tortuga rum cake and a mug of Madeira (or just some more rum). 👍😁 - basically like all Pirates Port vids should be watched. 😜
Straight to the point. Love it 👌
Thanks!
What a history with lovely images well presented!
Thank you!
Amazing content man so glad i found youre channel
Thanks, I’m glad you like it!
Thank you so much for these videos! You're amazing!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy them!
This is seriously one of the best historical channels on CZcams and I have no idea why this hasn't been swept up by the algorithm yet. Honestly I think it's only a matter of time before one of these videos just randomly pops off.
Thanks
Enjoyed the brief history of Tortuga mate!
Glad you liked it!
All good stories start with pirates!
The only doubt I have is bucaneers were not the ones we call pirates but the Filibusters. bucaneers used to sell meat and skin to the filibusteers, althou with the time some of them turned into the filibusteers. I think there's a small confusion with the names.
Your videos cured my scurvy
"Bonjour?"
Was that a sneaky assassin's Creed map just before 5:30
good job, my first video of yours and I just subscribed. Thanks for taking your time to share your knowledge and creating content. I would love videos on Canadian pirates (mostly from Newfoundland/Halifax and the French!)
Thanks!
Thank you again this was interesting.
Your videos are always good campfire story’s keep going! 👍👍
Thanks, will do!
wait what happened to tortuga after 1670? there was still 50-60 years of golden pirate age to go.
In 1676, the capital of Saint-Domingue was relocated from Tortuga to Port-de-Paix on the mainland of Hispaniola, and, in 1680, there were new laws passed that prohibited the act of sailing under foreign flags, which went against what was previously allowed. This was a significant legal blow to the buccaneers operating there.
Cool video ! 🇨🇦
Thanks!
