An unruly youth, Selkirk joined several buccaneering expeditions to the South Seas, including one commanded by William Dampier, which called in for provisions at the Juan Fernández Islands off Chile.

In October 1704, after the ships had parted ways because of a dispute between Stradling and Dampier, the Cinque Ports was brought by Stradling to an island that is today known as Robinson Crusoe Island in the uninhabited archipelago of Juan Fernández off the coast of Chile for a mid-expedition restocking of supplies and fresh water.

Stradling declared that he would grant him his wish and leave him alone on Juan Fernández.

At the same time, the most western island of the Juan Fernández Islands was renamed Alejandro Selkirk Island although Selkirk probably never saw that island ( 97 miles west ).

During his stay on the Juan Fernández Islands, Slocum runs across a marker commemorating Selkirk's stay.

The Juan Fernández Islands ( Spanish: Archipiélago Juan Fernández ) are a sparsely inhabited island group reliant on tourism and fishing in the South Pacific Ocean, situated about off the coast of Chile, and is composed of three main volcanic islands ; Robinson Crusoe Island, Alejandro Selkirk Island and Santa Clara Island, the first two being formerly called Más Adentro and Más Afuera respectively.

The archipelago administratively belongs to Chile's Valparaíso Region ( which also includes Easter Island ), and more specifically forms one of the nine communes ( comunas ) of the Valparaíso Province named Juan Fernández.

The archipelago was discovered by chance on November 22, 1574, by the Spanish sailor Juan Fernández, who was sailing between Peru and Valparaíso and deviated from his planned course.

During the Maritime Fur Trade era of the early 19th century the islands were a source of fur seal skins, and the Juan Fernández fur seal was nearly driven to extinction.

On July 30, 2007, a constitutional reform gave the Juan Fernández Islands and Easter Island the status of special territories of Chile.

According to data from the 2002 Census of Population and Housing, the commune of Juan Fernández had 633 inhabitants ; of these, 598 ( 94. 5 %) lived in urban areas and 35 ( 5. 5 %) in rural areas.

The islands are volcanic in origin, and are usually attributed to the passing by of the Nazca Plate over the Juan Fernández hotspot which would have produced the Juan Fernández Ridge that extends into the Peru-Chile Trench at the latitude of Valparaíso Region in mainland South America.

The islands have according to most geologists been carried eastward off the hot spot forming the Juan Fernández Ridge as the Nazca Plate subducts under the South American continent.

Fur trader Juan Bautista Roger Cooper was Andrew Molera's grandfather.

The book covers most of the radio episodes, but excludes the Juan Fernández Fur Seal and the Amazonian Manatee, allegedly due to Adams ' notorious writing delays.

The series excludes the Rodrigues fruit bat, the Yangtze River Dolphin, which is " in all probability extinct ", and the Juan Fernandez Fur Seal, which had proved embarrassingly easy for Adams and Carwardine to find.

Discovered by navigator Juan Fernández in the 16th century, the seals became a target for sealers in the Maritime Fur Trade era.

The most significant cities from north to south are Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point and San Clemente.
