Discovered in 1503 by Christopher Columbus. He named the Islands "Las Tortugas" 
("The Turtles"). For years afterwards the islands remained uninhabited, visited only by passing ships or pirates seeking to hide their treasure. The first settlers in the islands were deserters from the British navy, stationed in Jamaica.
