The Real Robinson Crusoe – Evidence Of Alexander Selkirk’s Desert Island Campsite
“The evidence uncovered at Aguas Buenas corroborates the stories of Alexander Selkirk’s stay on the island and provides a fascinating insight into his existence there. We hope that Aguas Buenas, with careful management, may be a site enjoyed by the increasing number of tourists searching for the inspiration behind Defoe’s masterpiece.”
The name Selkirk seems familiar, but I never knew the story was based on a real incident.
Artist’s conception of what the real Robinson Crusoe Alexander Selkirk may have looked like:
Alexander Selkirk was left on the island after falling out with his ship’s captain, not a good idea when you’re in the middle of nowhere!
