WHERE
ON THE ISLAND DO YOU START?
Not uncommon is the belief, that any treasure
chart should posses an X marks the spot. If skeleton island
Possessed such an X, I would seriously doubt it's authenticity,
as it would no doubt have been drawn to tempt some adventurous
or drink sodden fools to part with their cash, in other
words the directions to the treasure must be immediately
apparent to the purchaser, or they wouldn't buy it. Would
You?
No,
Skeleton Island doesn't possess an X marks the Spot, it
has a marked landing point, with a set of directions. However
there is no CLEAR indication where to start the directions
from, nor is there a cross any where on the chart, to denote
a cache, so where on the island do you START.?
I
will close this site, with a few observations on the supposed
directions to a cache, as written on Skeleton.
Focusing our attention on the Skeleton Chart, it is clear
that the (artist) could easily have written all of his text
on the horizontal, but he hasn’t, perhaps to insinuate
that the chart could be viewed from more than one Direction?
(The signature for instance, is supposed to be that of Wm.
Kidd, yet the signature on the chart and Kidd’s genuine
signature, bear no resemblance.
If,
however the signature is rotated and viewed from the north
end of the chart,
the ‘W’ takes on the part profile of a ‘Bird’.
To complete the profile I added in the ‘Birds’
Chest.
This
could interpret as part of a Code to the cache, Who? or What
Is the Bird,?
There was a pirate named Le Bussier (the Buzzard). Henry Avery
was also known as the Raven ??
The
‘K’ is also a significant factor in determining
where to start one’s search.
Unfortunately I cannot divulge It’s ‘Secret’.
The first line of the written Directions reads 18west and
by 7east.Coincidentally, a scaled Admiralty chart of Maio,
measures,(25mm) from the west to east coast, on the latitudes
of mountain, St. Antonio. This mountain, as mentioned makes
up the north eastern end of the valley, its position being
(18mm from the West coast and 7mm from the east coast)! Sounds
familiar
The
word ‘Tree’ in the Directions is drawn with the
letters r e e, underlined or joined?
