Tortuga (or Tortuga Island) (French:Île de la Tortue, IPA:[il də la tɔʁty]; Haitian Creole:Latòti; Spanish:Isla Tortuga, IPA:[ˈisla torˈtuɣa], Turtle Island) is a Caribbeanisland that forms part of Haiti, off the northwest coast of Hispaniola. It constitutes the commune of Île de la Tortue in the Port-de-Paix arrondissement of the Nord-Ouest Department of Haiti.
Tortuga is 180km² (69mi²) in size and had a population of 25,936 at the 2003 Census. In the 17th century, Tortuga was a major center and haven of Caribbean piracy. Its tourist industry and reference in many works has made it one of the most recognized regions of Haiti.
History
The first Europeans to land on Tortuga were the Spaniards in 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus into the New World. On December 6, 1492, three Spanish ships entered the 'Windward Passage' that separates Cuba and Haiti. At sunrise, Columbus noticed an island whose contours emerged from the morning mist. Because the shape reminded him of a turtle's shell, he chose the name of Tortuga.
Haiti (i/ˈheɪti/; French:Haïti[a.iti]; Haitian Creole:Ayiti[ajiti]), officially the Republic of Haiti (French: République d'Haïti; Haitian Creole:Repiblik Ayiti), is a country in the western hemisphere, and is located on the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean. It occupies the western three-eighths of the island which it shares with the Dominican Republic. Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714sqmi) in size and has an estimated 10.6 million people, making it the most populous country in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the third-most populous country in the Caribbean as a whole.
Originally inhabited by the indigenous Taíno people, Europeans first became aware of the island on December 5, 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic. When Columbus first landed in Haiti, he had thought he had found India or Asia. Deciding to establish the first settlement in the area, a contingent of men were left at an outpost christened La Navidad because of the wreck to their sunken flagship, the Santa Maria, that occurred at Christmas, north of what is now Limonade. The island was named Hispaniola and claimed by Spain, which ruled until the early 17th century. Competing claims and settlements by the French led to the western portion of the island being ceded to France, which named it Saint-Domingue. The development of sugarcaneplantations, worked by slaves brought from Africa, led to the colony being among the most lucrative in the world.
"Haiti I am Sorry", or simply "Haiti", is a calypso song written and composed by David Rudder, and first recorded in 1988 for the album Haiti by David Rudder and Charlie's Roots. The song is about the serious trouble in Haiti.
Two sovereign nations share the 76,192 square kilometres (29,418sqmi) island. The Dominican Republic with 48,445 square kilometres (18,705sqmi) is nearly twice as large as its neighbor, Haiti, which contains 27,750 square kilometres (10,710sqmi). The only other shared island in the Caribbean is Saint Martin, shared between France (Saint-Martin) and the Netherlands (Sint Maarten).
It is the site of the first European settlement in the Americas founded by Christopher Columbus on his voyages in 1492 and 1493.
History
Etymology
The island was called by various names by its native people, the TaínoAmerindians. When Columbus took possession of the island in 1492, he named it Insula Hispana, meaning "the Spanish Island" in Latin and La Isla Española, meaning "the Spanish Island", in Spanish.Bartolomé de las Casas shortened the name to "Española", and when Pietro Martyr d‘Anghiera detailed his account of the island in Latin, he rendered its name as Hispaniola.

Episode #5
The History of Haiti: Brethren of the coast
by Mikelson Toussaint-Fils
In 1494, the Treaty of Tordesillas marked a defining moment in the Age of Exploration. Spain and Portugal, the dominant maritime powers of the time, sought to divide up the newly discovered lands and assert their control over vast territories. However, three other powers of that time, France, England, and the Dutch Republic were far from being deterred from the Eldorado. In this new episode on the history of Haiti, we will see how Hispaniola, and particularly the island of Tortuga, became a safe haven for buccaneers and privateers supported by European powers to attack Spanish interests.

However, three other powers of that time, France, England, and the Dutch Republic were far from being deterred from the Eldorado. In this new episode on the history of Haiti, we will see how Hispaniola, and particularly the island of Tortuga, became a safe haven for buccaneers and privateers supported by European powers to attack Spanish interests.
We will talk about, among other things: the arrival of buccaneers in the Caribbean, the devastation of Osorios, the occupation of the western part of Hispaniola by the French, the Ryswick Treaty, Sir Francis Drake, Henry Morgan, Jacquotte Delahaye, Anne Dieu-le-Veut, Neel Cuyper

I've traveled unto this island countless times since a child, (first trip I must've been 5 or 6 years, RIP dad), yet I have never been able to say I have seen Karenaj's basin (only heard of it, although I had been in this area serval times to collect water whenever our cisterns were low).... Take a look at what i've been missing, it's pretty cool, I can see a jetski in this body of water real soon : )

Tortuga (or Tortuga Island) (French:Île de la Tortue, IPA:[il də la tɔʁty]; Haitian Creole:Latòti; Spanish:Isla Tortuga, IPA:[ˈisla torˈtuɣa], Turtle Island) is a Caribbeanisland that forms part of Haiti, off the northwest coast of Hispaniola. It constitutes the commune of Île de la Tortue in the Port-de-Paix arrondissement of the Nord-Ouest Department of Haiti.
Tortuga is 180km² (69mi²) in size and had a population of 25,936 at the 2003 Census. In the 17th century, Tortuga was a major center and haven of Caribbean piracy. Its tourist industry and reference in many works has made it one of the most recognized regions of Haiti.
History
The first Europeans to land on Tortuga were the Spaniards in 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus into the New World. On December 6, 1492, three Spanish ships entered the 'Windward Passage' that separates Cuba and Haiti. At sunrise, Columbus noticed an island whose contours emerged from the morning mist. Because the shape reminded him of a turtle's shell, he chose the name of Tortuga.
