| The Cayman Islands first came to the attention of Europe in 1503 when visited by Christopher Columbus, who immediately christened them 'Las Tortugas' due to the abundance of sea turtles found there. But, it wasn't until 1586 that an Englishman, Sir Francis Drake first paid a visit to the Islands and they became the Caymans. Upon visiting the island idyll archipelago he promptly re-named them, again after an animal but this time the creature of choice was the indigenous Cayman crocodile. |
