Cocos Island lies off the coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific Ocean. Historically associated with pirate folklore and rumours of legendary hoards of buried treasure, the island is said to have formed the inspiration for Robert Louis Stephenson's Treasure Island. Now a Costa Rican National Park and UNESCO World Heritage site, the island, and the richly populated waters surrounding it, are celebrated for their wealth of flora and fauna.

Dawson painted a larger canvas of The Pirates' Cove, Cocos Island, Wafer Bay which sold at Christie's, New York on 31 July 2001 for $209,500.
