Was there any truth to the tales of British sailors about a tribe of nine-foot giants living in South America?

No, there wasn't. Not that this will convince anyone. There also aren't any dragons, mermaids, harpies, sirens, or a big dropoff at the end of the world. And asian women aren't designed horizontally. There are, however, flying fish and gigantic squid so not everything turned out to be bogus.

um, this is NOT a hoax. There is a museum in Argentina that holds the skeletal remains of some patagonians and was featured on the discovery channel. Google is your friend.

You can search at google, and see that during many centuries, people who visited the south of argentina claimed that they saw very tall people. Darwin says in one of his books (page 245 http://darwin-online.org.uk/converted/scans/1890_Voyage_F59(online)/1890_Voyage_F59_282.jpg)http://darwin-online.org.uk/converted/scans/1890_Voyage_F59(online)/1890_Voyage_F59_282.jpg) that their average height was about six feet. With some man taller and only a few shorter. That is pretty tall, and I think that they had lost some inches due to crossbreeding in 1830 when Darwin saw them, and thats why the first people that saw them sayed that they were giants. Thats my opinion. Good bye. PS: you can see all Darwin's work here: http://darwin-online.org.uk
