When Columbus discovered Tobago, he called it Bellaforma. The island has changed hands many times since then. The Dutch had it - the French claimed it - the Kings of Poland and Sweden wanted it - The British captured it - an American squadron tried to take it - ceded to France - recaptured by the British now, united with Trinidad...
