Ha ha, robbed from the Portuguese! WHat a lark. As if Portugal was not claiming territories beyond its own borders back in those days.
England got it because England was smart enough to figure out how to land on it. Portugal was not.

I mean they had no police man( there was never a need for one) , no person "in charge" like a president or shit like that and get this they lived peacefully without any "laws" and get this conrad glass the current police man just like albert glass (tristans first policeman) is a policeman , lol, glasses are policemen ! lol !

@jrg8008 I'm not sure but it is quite old, in the beginning they have radio communication between South Africa and Tristan Da Cunha.

@Acexwanderer is this the documentary that was shown on public TV in the US, about 15-20 years ago? I saw that and have been trying to find it as well. It had a nice score.

What is the song called?
Also does anyone know where to find the documentary "The Forgotten Island" about Tristan da Cunha?
-
You seem to be obsessing on that mate. That was over 300 years ago, time to let it go.
-
that was 400 years ago, big deal, and btw, the Portugeseies didn't settle there, they just tried to make a claim by looking at it.
-
Indeed. And one wonders why this clown is so peeved about it--aren't the Azores and Madeira nicer anyway?
-
The island was founded by a Portuguese explorer called Tristao da Cunha. However he never set foot on the island because the weather condition was so bad, that he could not get his ship to land on the island. Also the Portuguese have never ruled Tristan da Cunha. Look on my video of Tristan da Cunha on my channel.

between 00:13 an 00:18 Africa and America are labeled incorrectly, they need to be switched.
