5.0 out of 5 stars
Great stories,
This review is from: Clipperton, isla mexicana (Seccion de Obras de Historia) (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
The Mexicans have been claiming this island forever....and starting anew with American support. The island is French and its Exclusive Economic Zone is rich in Tuna among other things. Thanks to the fishes and to the extent of its global maritime territories and especially thanks to Clipperton's maritime territory next to the americas, France sits high at the board of the Inter American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)and can dictates its fishing conditions to America....with a stronger voice than Mexico will ever have even with Clipperton...Anyways...while this tape is a claim for Clipperton to be given to Mexico, it is also a great historical review of its Mexican occupation. So much has happened on this little ring of coral 3 days out at sea from Acapulco. You name it: pirates, sharks, discoveries and re-discoveries, claims and counter-claims, shipwrecks, guano mining form San Francisco, England and Mexican colony, starvation, drownings, murder and rape, last minute rescue, secret US mission turned into a disaster, secret base, sea plane base and hurricane, stranded fishermen and stranded boats... What else do you want...in a true story! |
