    Viking Ship Found in Manhoe Bay ?

    Viking Ship on Hobson Island
    In June 2010, Finders Keepers traveled to Nova Scotia to checked out a small island in the Mahone Bay area.
    The Island is know as Hobson Island and it is 175 feet long and 100 feet wide and around 5 feet above sea level during high tide and 700 feet long at low tide. We used Google Earth
    to view it up close and to measure it. In the pictures enclosed you can see a pile of rocks in the shape of a ship and the pile measures 59 feet long and a Viking Cargo ship measures 59 feet long. The Vikings were known to bury their ships when they were no longer useful.

    In the History of the Mikmag Indians they tell of red hair men that came to their land on the back of a wale. Then they say the red hair men built a island and planted trees on it. Then the red hair men built a ship and left.

    Well we think this was not a wale but a Viking Ship turned over. Had the wale made it to main land then the Mikmag would of known it was a ship, so it did not make it to shore. We believe that the Mikmag saw the Vikings on the back of their ship and it looked like a wale from 3/4 of a mile away. Then the Viking Ship hit land and the mast broke off. Then they unloaded the ship and buried it on the Island. The island was made of sand and was 20 feet above sea level so it would be easy to dig a hole big enough to bury the ship. They would of wanted to use stone to hold it down instead of sand. We think they used the stones found around the shore line and this is why the island is gone today.
    A Viking Cargo Ship could hold up to 25 tons of cargo and they could of build a raft and used the high tide and low tide to get the cargo and treasure to shore of Oak Island. They could of hauled stones and trees back to the island during low tide and to the Mikmag this would look like they were building a island.
    If a Viking Ship was upside down the mast would be the first thing to hit solid land and if you look in the upper right of the picture ( use Google Earth not Google Map )you can see a straight object that we think could be the mast and yardarm.

    The Island is in the right location, between the ocean and Oak island.
    The island is 3/4 mile from shore.
    The pile of rocks are in the shape of a ship.
    The pile of rocks are 59 feet long.
    The Viking Cargo ships were 59 feet long.
    The long object (mast) is on the ocean side of the island.
    The long object is the right size for the mast and yardarm together.
    The Vikings were the only ones to bury their ships and their is a pile of rocks

    .We believe there was a Viking Ship buried on the Island and this was the ship Prince Henry Sinclare and the Templar Treasure was on. Now that the island has washed away you can see a pile of rocks that we believe were used to bury the ship but are now gone. In the1970's a Light House and buildings were on the island but all are now gone and so is the 20 foot high island.
    If this is a Viking Ship the ocean will destroy anything left on the island, we have to work together and fast on this historical find to get the info before it is gone. We just want to prove this is a Viking Ship, then hope the Government locates someone to check it out to see if anything is left.

    1, We are still trying to get a small piece of wood from the straight object in the water to have it carbon dated. Our rented dive gear was not working for us to get a sample. We are looking for someone in the area that has their own dive gear and is willing to help us get the wood sample to carbon date. Email us for more info..
    2, We did locate metal artifacts from the area that looks like a ship but the government says the artifacts are from the late 1800's and early 1900's.
    3, We did hope to locate some wood or coconut fibers on the surface to carbon date but their is to many dried plants on the island to do this in one day.
    4, We had metal detectors with us but their is lots of red stones and red clay (with iron deposits) and plants that set off the detectors. Yet we still located metal objects.

    Check out this page and let us know what you think.

    Click on the link below and see Hobson Island in Google Map but Google Earth is better. Everyone that looks at this picture says it looks like a ship. Only the state employees think not. We gave them artifacts that we found on the island and I spent over $4000. so far and the Nova Scotia Gov spent $0. They have no intrest looking at this any more they said. They are done with this site but you the ones that live in the area should speak out and have some one check this out. Soon this all will be gone and then it will be to late.

    Re: Viking Ship Found in Manhoe Bay ?

    We are planning to return to Hobson Island in the spring of 2011 to finish our hunt. We have divers that located rock carvings and a stone map of the area between Hobson and Oak Island. We still believe this is a Viking Ship and now we have a site we want to check out to see if the Templar Treasure is there. This time we will do things the right way.

    Re: Viking Ship Found in Manhoe Bay ?

    I think that would be a GREAT idea! I think also, that Keith should be involved with you, to "help" with native Canadian "understanding" of found carvings, symbols, etc. I have NO "paper-trail", but what I "see" is that Knights Templar sailed from Scotland to Iceland, where
    "treasure" was off-loaded onto a VIKING ship left behind, that was "sea-worthy", ending up near Hobson Island, and KT with help of native ppl did the "Oak Island thing"; lots of these original KT later became PIRATES, etc. LOL. The REST of the KT left Iceland on the original ship... ending up in today's Rhode Island... building the round NEWPORT TOWER; the REST is "history".

    Re: Viking Ship Found in Manhoe Bay ?

    I have been checking out the Zeno Narratives on Prince Henry 's trip to the new world and it backs up everything we claim to have found. The link to Zeno Map is below. It tells of a great storm they were in for 6 days when they left Greenland and headed for the new world. A cannon was found in the northern part of the Nova Scotia waters. If a ship was in this storm for days and over loaded I could see it turning over and the cannon falling in the ocean. Than the story says they built a ship at Guysborough Harbor that tells me they had a ship wreck as we have said. But there is no proof that they did build a ship at Guysborough I believe they built the ship in Manhoe Bay , I have a pile of rocks in the shape of a Viking Ship and 59 feet long , the same length of a Viking cargo ship buried in Manhoe Bay on Hobson Island and they found no ships in Guysborough. The Vikings were known to bury their old ships at times.
    There are oak trees on Oak Island and a castle with foundations near New Ross. The Vikings needed to build a ship and they needed oak wood so why wouldn't they build the new ship in Manhoe Bay were they had everything they needed. After all if you look at Zenos Map it shows all of lands they went to but Nova Scotia is not on it. Would you show the place were you hid the treasure.

    Be sure and hold on to your replys from the Govmt in case you find something of value. You will need it as evidence in court.

    Re: Viking Ship Found in Manhoe Bay ?

    Hay Everyone Get Ready, Things are about to happen this year that could bring a end to this hunt. There will be a TV show this summer on the Knights Templar and the Templar Treasure with new found info that will draw a lot of attention. Finders Keepers was asked to be on the show and I will be able to tell you more when the paper work is done .

    Hi Maipenria, The Dents Run site is still on hold until we hear back from the network. All of our sites are on hold. We show up now and then to do research work but the network wanted all work to stop until they decide what to do. We will be back to drilling soon if we don't hear from them and the weather gets real good.
