Tobago
As with most islands in the Caribbean, Tobago was already settled by Indians when Columbus made his “discovery.” With richer islands and lands to explore, the Spanish Crown ignored it, and in 1508 the English claimed the island for themselves.
Tobago wasn’t destined to remain in English hands for long, however, and over the next century it was owned by the Dutch, Spanish, English, and French for short periods, often changing hands on an annual basis.
Currently, the island is unclaimed by any nation, and has become a den for pirates and smugglers. The former colonial settlements have been renamed with typical pirate style, and one can now find Bloody Bay, Pirates Bay, and Man o’ War Bay.
The English are beginning to take interest in Tobago once more, and will likely mount an invasion within the next few years. Once they rid the sea of pirates, that is.
