=====================

In 1889, Knight sailed to Trindade in a 64-foot yawl named the Alerte.

At the time, it was the only detailed written account of the island.

Arthur Ransome used the descriptions from Knight's book as a basis for the geographical features of Crab Island in his book Peter Duck, except that he set the island further north in the Caribbean Sea
