Did pirates bury treasure on Oak Island?
The famous Captain William Kidd may have buried treasure on Oak Island. He sailed a ship like the one shown here.
This is an imagined illustration of Captain Kidd burying the treasure from an East Indies merchant ship.
The British eventually captured Captain Kidd. Here he is, gibbetted and hung as a warning to other sailors.
This is a map from the famous book Treasure Island. It was likely inspired by Captain’s Kidd’s alleged map showing where he buried his treasure on Oak Island.
The whole story of Captain Kidd and other pirates’ treasure on Oak Island is told in Oak Island Illustrated by John Bell.
