Edited to delete a portion I had written wrongly assuming she was also talking about the Smith's Cove works, after reading some of her interviews and portions of other articles just now, I found nothing about Smith's Cove other than the tar box being found there. So I wanted to correct that mistake on my part, but not hide that I had made it. Her theory and contention is based on the Money Pit being a tar kiln....will see what else is said when I get the book in hand.
I also have J. Steele's book on the way, from an intra library loan that will take a few extra days because it is coming from NS....That I had no idea was even done country to country....
I have looked at her theory before, debated it with her via another forum (if you can call debating her calling you every name in the book for questioning anything, which I had been warned was how she handled any doubts of her theory at all..lol) So will read it with an open mind, to see if it really seems to be a valid idea to me...
One thing that does bother me already though, is that her main evidence, what she refers to as 'proof positive'...is the finding of the wooden box when the cove was dug as a 'tar box' and it laying there proves her theory...much like the railroad spike being found in the swamp proves a ship was there. The 'tar box' as she describes it also is missing one feature she claims a tar box would have to have to function as she says, and which when pointed out by me in our 'debate' according to her picture of the box, it didn't...she admitted "Is a troubling problem, but i'm still right"
I am interested to see if her writings can convert me to a believer, as our conversation did not...
Anyone else that has read the book, or talked to Steele directly, I hope will join in to try and hash it all out....
