Abstract

Abstract Oak Island has long been associated with mystery and treasure speculation. This report proposes a coherent and functional interpretation of the island’s physical features, showing that the various stoneworks, inlets, and drainage systems constitute a single integrated industrial and naval logistical network, rather than random debris or purely treasure-related constructs. Evidence suggests a system designed for the controlled movement of ships, material transport via stone roads, and hydraulic management using the natural tidal cycle.
