Summary: Many researchers feel that the Island of Tobago was most likely the actual island that Defoe's book, Robinson Crusoe, was referring to. Due to the island's unpredictable and harsh currents and large above and below water rock formations, many seaman, like Crusoe, were in fact shipwrecked in the area. The Bowmans examine the history of the island, and their life on this tropical island during an extended vacation.
