Just to clarify, the Tortuga off of Haiti didn't get that name until the 1600's. The 3 islands that make up the Cayman's were named Los Tortugas in 1503. So, the ORIGINAL Tortuga in the Caribbean, was what is now known as the Caymans. As I said in my OP, this is the REAL Tortuga.
There are many other places also called Tortuga:
As Bart mentioned, the Dry Tortugas to the west of Key West,
The small island at the north end of Haiti
Isla Tortuga off of Baja California Sur
Venezuela and Peru both also have islands named Tortuga
