H.O.S.P. II - It's all about the guano - Clipperton Island

Discovered by Magellan in 1521, the only atoll in the East Pacific was named for Spanish-employed English pirate and mutineer John Clipperton. Over the years, it has been held or claimed by the French, the U.S. (see Guano Islands Act), the Mexicans, the Brits and the King of Italy. In 1917, the lighthouse keeper found himself to be the last man on the island, declared himself King and went to work on raping the remaining women before he was killed. Currently a French possession, Clipperton has been mostly inhabited by birds and crabs since the end of WWII.
