Stephan:   I have been following the story of Oak Island for 60 years. I first encountered in when at the age of 11 I was bicycling to meet my best friends Donnie Schroeder and John Randolph, and saw a discarded men's magazine in the gutter. The cover was a young woman in what today would be a modest bikini but was then, particularly to an 11 year old boy, unspeakably racy. Inside was an article that laid down the fundamentals of the genuinely mysterious story of a small island and a mesmerizing treasure.  I have followed the various failed operations from that day on. They have washed over the island like waves. They still haven't figured out how to get to the treasure, but now there is something else.  Here is the latest. The story is too complex to do properly here, do a search. Lots has been written about Oak Island, Nova Scotia.

Ancient mariners visited the New World more than a thousand years before Columbus – according to a sensational new report.

The main findings of the study, which centres on the mysterious Oak Island, off Nova Scotia, have been exclusively revealed to Johnston Press.

A team of expert researchers reckon they have unearthed astonishing evidence that Roman ships visited North America in antiquity – ‘during the first century or earlier’ and long before Columbus landed in 1492.

The discoveries could cast new light on the mystery of Oak Island which is currently the focus of a centuries-old treasure hunt centering on a 230ft deep booby-trapped shaft known as the ‘money pit’.

The History Channel’s series Curse of Oak Island, now in its third season, follows the Lagina brothers as they attempt to discover the island’s long-held secret.

    Proof of a Roman ship with radio-carbon dates to obtain an age would be an amazing discovery! I wonder if it was a lost ship or a part of a fleet?

    This is where I live, right here in Nova Scotia. Of course these dudes could’ve gone to an accredited, bona fide University first, before going to the press. But the History channel? Awe come on eh? They’ve had us for sure, but perhaps not. The press cannot carbon date anything. But a few days ago when this story broke, a pastor friend in CT told me an interesting story: apparently Apollo 13 uncovered a Viking longboat on the moon nearly 4 decades ago, but it was hushed up. hahahahaha Sheesh, it’s not even April 1st yet.
