1 Substantial doubts about this bit of British “conventional wisdom” are expressed, with long verbatim excerpts from the well-known Hakluyt Society reprints of the primary sources, in the most widely known study: Goebel, J., The Struggle for the Falkland Islands 3542 (1927, ed. 1982)Google Scholar. Goebel may have been wrong, but a British Colonial Office Report of the 1970s is not necessarily conclusive, and the primary sources examined by Goebel are in fact still easily available. Goebel’s book is cited in many places in the chronology, and in the analysis.
