Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Tortuga Island is located in which sea? "
...
Tortuga Island is a Caribbean island that forms part of Haiti, off the northwest coast of Hispaniola. It constitutes the commune of 'Île de la Tortue in the Port-de-Paix arrondissement' of the 'Nord-Ouest' department of Haiti.
Tortuga was a major center and haven of Caribbean piracy. Its tourist industry and references in many works have made it one of the most recognized regions of Haiti.
The first Europeans to land on Tortuga were the Spanish in 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus into the New World. On December 6, 1492, three Spanish ships entered the Windward Passage that separates Cuba and Haiti. At sunrise, Columbus noticed an island whose contours emerged from the morning mist. Because the shape reminded him of a turtle's shell, he chose the name of Tortuga.
Tortuga has been portrayed in many works depicting piracy in the Caribbean in the 17th and 18th centuries, including the films 'The Black Swan' (1942) and the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' (film series).
