Pirate Freebooted Columbus Island History
The island San Salvador, long linked to Columbus first setting foot in the New World, is tied to Captain Watling the pirate of the Bahamas by national Geographic. Maps now label the island Watling Island or San Salvador. Columbus described a lake large enough to float many ships and noted birds and big trees once present. Today about 700 residents, mainly descendants of African slaves, farm vegetables raise hogs and eat iguana.
