| | The History of the Falkland Islands ~ Discovery by Sir Richard Hawkins |
| | 3 This would have been the what we now know as the Jason Islands. | | | Rogers saw them as islands at first, subsequently joining wit the low lands.) As to the other objections: this was a'goodly champion country' for centuries after Hawkin's time; he only infers rivers of fresh water from the discolouration fo the sea, which may also be caused by the strong tidal streams. | | | As some doubts have been cast on the identification of this land with the Falkland Islands, it is necessary to reconstruct Hawkins track from Rio Janeiro to 'Point Tremountaine' and then to Cape Virgins. |

| | Maritime History of the Falkland Islands |
| | The establishment of the settlement of Port Egmont by the British on Saunders Island off West Falkland in 1766 led to the naming of the Jason Islands and Carcass Island after the vessels Jason and Carcass commanded by Captain John McBride who settled the island. | | | The Falkland Islands maritime history begins with early sightings and discovery - and the Elizabethan navigator John Davis, whose vessel Desire was driven amongst the Islands in 1592, is accredited with the discovery of the Islands. | | | These vessels used the largely unpopulated Falkland Islands for shelter, provisions of water, groceries and pigs (which were introduced onto some of the smaller islands and allowed to breed for this purpose), and taking seal and penguins for their blubber, which was rendered into oil. |

| | SNIPPET - Jason Islands/Falklands |
| | While it is unlikely that the Jasons will ever become much visited and perhaps it is right that this should be so, the presence in the islands of two vessels for charter: Golden Fleece and the slightly larger, Meander does increase the possibility. | | | Since our government air service switched fifteen years ago from float planes to land planes, the number has grown a little, but top of anyone's list are still the Jason Islands: Steeple, Grand, Elephant, Flat and South, which lie at the extreme North West of the Falkland Islands. | | | The islands themselves are like dinosaur spines- a little flat ground on the coast, but quickly rising - and just packed with wild-life including mile after mile of black-browed albatross colonies and even at this time of year, penguins galore in evidence - gentoos and rockhoppers still about and the ground riddled with Magellanics burrows. |

| | Although these islands were probably the Jason Islands, a group northwest of West Falkland, the names "Islas de Sansón" ( or "San Antón," "San Son," and "Ascensión") were used for the Falklands on Spanish maps during this period. | | | The Falkland Islands were uninhabited when discovered by Europeans, but the recent discovery of the remains of a wooden canoe is strong evidence that they had previously been visited, most probably by the Yaghan people of Tierra del Fuego. | | | An archipelago in the region of the Falkland Islands appeared on maps from the early 16th century, suggesting they may have been sighted by Ferdinand Magellan or another expedition of the 1500s. |
