For this episode, there were contradicting accounts and myths from Philip Gosse's famous 1925 anthology that we needed to sort through. Like every episode, we pour over dozens of resources during our research phase. We're also sorry to say that Oak Island has no treasure either-though a fun myth. Robert Louis Stevenson’s massive hit, Treasure Island (1883), singlehandedly generated the concept. Pirates collected their booty and they used it. Pirates did not bury treasure there was no justification for doing such a thing. There is absolutely zero chance there is treasure there. You cannot go there without permission, which we received from the Canadian Wildlife Service, Atlantic Region. Isle Haute is a protected conservation area with unique species of plants and animals. Take to the lawless seas in search of treasure and tall tales in a veritable “who’s who” of pirates and privateers on Canada’s East Coast. Lawrence and along the jagged coasts of the Maritimes. Yet, some of the most ruthless men and women of the seven seas razed hell up North, in the Gulf of St. When we think of swashbuckling tales of pirates and plunder, we think of Blackbeard, palm trees, and the sun-scorched shores of the Caribbean.
