|
The Island of Tortuga, which in fact is one big Island and 3 smaller ones, is located some 50 miles west of Isla Margarita. This Island used to be a hide out place for Piratas during the 17th. Century, but today it is uninhabited with some fishermen living here in the fishing season. It is a beautiful Island with long white sand beaches and lots of interesting bays and places to visit. This map was found in the Archivos National de Venezuela by Henrik Bratfeldt, it shows a Dutch fortress from 1668, well protected on the high plain, with its natural habor in front. In the revolution with Simon Bolivar, treasures was hidden by rich Spanish families here, in an attempt to save their most valued treasures... next.. How we located, what we believe is a real pirate treasure...... HB. |
