In the "pirates of the caribbean" movie, capt. jack sparrow and his crew travel to the pirate base on the island of tortuga. find out these 3 things about this real island.

I need all the information to be able to help you! 

1.  Tortuga lies on the north side of the great and renowned island of Hispaniola (modern Haiti)

2.  The island is small; some sixteen leagues in circumference and acquired its name (Ile de la Tortue, “Turtle Island”) because its shape is that of a turtle.

3.   At the beginning of the 17th century, the population lived on the southern coast of the island, where there was a port for ships to enter.

Hope this helps...
