Hinweis der Redaktion
- Imagine a place where you might find pirate treasure, the Holy Grail, or hidden Shakespeare manuscripts. A place where a United States President felt was worth investigating for treasure. This place is Oak Island, found off the coast of Nova Scotia. Many men have investigated the island and its famous “money pit” and six have died in the process. Legend says that the treasure can not be found until seven people have died attempting to discover it (Morgan, 2014).

- Pirates were known to visit the islands around Nova Scotia during the Golden Age of Piracy which was between 1690 and 1730 (Morgan, 2014). Because much of this area was unpopulated, the pirates were able to use the natural resources of the area to restock and repair their ships (Morgan, 2014). They would also use unpopulated areas like Oak Island to bury their treasure (Morgan, 2014). Captain William Kidd, a notorious pirate, even admitted to having buried treasure in the area when he was captured in 1699 (Morgan, 2014).

- The boys dug through two platforms (20 feet), before they eventually gave up for the day. However, several weeks later they returned to dig more (Morgan, 2014).

- According to Ashley Morgan, the Onslow Company established by Simeon Lynds began their own excavations in 1804. The crew dug to forty feet before the came across another platform of logs. This platform was different in that it contained a sap-like sealant on the logs. This potentially meant buried treasure could be nearby. They dug another ten feet before coming across another platform. This platform was covered in coconut fibers, possibly from the Caribbean. The men dug until a depth of 98 feet. At this point, the men came across another platform so they lifted a few logs out of the way to see if the valuables were directly underneath. When they weren’t, the crew stopped for the day. When they returned the tunnel was flooded. This flooding proved to be too much for them and they eventually gave up (Morgan 2014). According to Ashley Morgan, the Truro Company was formed forty years later by Anthony Vaughan. In 1849, the crew drained the water and debris to a depth of 86 feet. When they returned, however, the water levels were back to 60 feet. The crew took a new approach and built a platform over the pit to send a hand-powered auger down to dig. The drill dug through the platform at 98 feet and soon reached a layer that consisted of 4 inches of oak, followed by 6 inches of spruce, and 7 inches of clay. Upon removal of the auger, the crew found three gold chain links. The team found nothing else of importance that year. The next year they returned with a new strategy. They would drill a hole horizontally to the money pit and send a spelunker down to retrieve the cache. Their plan did not succeed as they had hoped because their tunnel also began to flood. They were able to determine that the water came from a manmade beach, but were not successful in their attempt to obstruct any feeder vents. This ended the Truro Company’s efforts (Morgan 2014). The Oak Island Association and Oak Island Treasure Company were also established but had relatively little success in beating the flood tunnels of the money pit. They both eventually disbanded (Morgan, 2014). The Triton Alliance was established in 1967. During one of their excavations in 1971, they sent a video camera into borehole 10X. The video footage revealed a severed hand, several treasure chests, and a corpse in the watery pit. The Triton Alliance had ten diving excursions into borehole 10X. However, none of these excursions resulted in the removal of any treasure. Eventually legal issues on the island caused the Trion Alliance to shut down their work (Morgan, 2014). Marty and Rick Lagina are now a part of the History Channel’s reality TV show in which they try to uncover the treasure. They have been in search of the treasure on the island since the 1960s (Morgan, 2014).
- According to Ashley Morgan the Onslow Company originally found this stone tablet at a depth of 90 feet, but it wasn’t until the 1860s that it was able to be deciphered. James Leitchi, of Dalhousie University used a simple substitution cipher to decode the hidden message. This would meant the treasure would be found at a depth of 130 feet. The University was also able to say that the stone was probably of British Origin. This once again pointed to the treasure belonging to Captain William Kidd (Morgan, 2014).
- During a boiler explosion, in which the Oak Island Association was attempting to drain the pit, a crew member was fatally burned (Morgan, 2014). During expeditions by the Restall family, Robert Restall and his son, Bobbie, were working on a shaft on one of the beaches. Robert looked into the pit before passing out due to a noxious gas emanating from the pit. Bobbie would rush after his father only to face the same fate (Morgan, 2014). A total of six lives have been lost in an attempt to find the treasure. Some legends say that the treasure won’t be found until a seventh dies (Morgan, 2014).
- Many tunnels have been found that lead from the Atlantic Ocean into the money pit. This has resulted in the tunnel flooding any time one of the tunnels is opened. Many have tried to block the vents leading to the tunnel but their has been little success (Nickell, 2000).
- When FDR was 27, he joined Old Salvage Gold and Wrecking Company (Morgan, 2014). They were searching for the treasure off the shores of Nova Scotia. He maintained an interest in Oak Island well into his presidency but was never able to return (Morgan, 2014).
- Many have theorized about what can be found in the pit on Oak Island.
- During the time of the Knights Templar’s persecution, it is believed that their wealth was boarded upon a ship. According to many scholars, this ship’s destination would have taken them to Oak Island, Nova Scotia. It is also believed that the Knights Templar became the Freemasons. Several peculiar stones have been found on the island that support this theory. These stones contain various symbols, including crosses and a circle with a central dot. There were also deliberate triangular rock formations. These symbols are all rooted in Masonic tradition (Morgan, 2014).
- Some believe Captain William Kidd’s treasure to be buried there. Others believe it to be the treasure of Blackbeard. Blackbeard is known to have said that his treasure is buried “where none but Satan and myself can find it.” (Morgan, 2014).
- Some believe the money pit is a natural phenomenon due to Nova Scotia’s geographical features. They believe that the pit is actually only a sinkhole and that everything buried there was from a naturally occurring subterranean cavern in which all the debris washed into the money pit (Morgan, 2014).
