Claudio Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi, I am the author of the book Galleons and sunken treasure. In my book there is a link story with the pirate Swan (galleon San Roque shipwreck occurred in 1605 and the treasure island). I am interested to know why Swan Island (Isla del Cisne, Honduras) has the name of the pirate. I searched for information but there is no apparent explanation. Curiously, this island was renamed in 1686, just when a pirate Swan traveled through the Caribbean. I can give further details. Cheers Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
