Legendary Oak Island


The mysterious Oak Island, which is believed to be a mysterious treasure in the Mahone Bay region of Canada, also known as Oak Island, is still a legendary island that known by every treasure hunters. In 1795, when Daniel McGinnis was 16 years old, he traveled to Oak Island in the Gulf of Mahone. The island has got this name because it is covered with oaks. Then he saw a giant oak tree island. When he examine the tree, he saw weird marks on it. He calls him friends to dig the tree. They start digging together. They believe it's a pirate treasure here. But after a while they saw a tunnel under the soil. Their supplies are insufficient and the can't continue any longer. They ask for help from villagers. But the villagers will not help because they are afraid of the area. So they can not continue and leave. There is a place called "money pit" here. They believe that have a great treasure in this pit. But they failed again. They cannot reach the pit.

In many years so much people tried to find that treasure. But they all failed each time. John Smith found weird stones at the Island in 1804. He showed it to the people for funding reach investors. But he failed every time. He even builded a bridge from the land and Island. Many people wasted their money for funding treasure in 200 years. Some of them get financal broke for this. Almost twenty people had lost their lives when tried to find treasure in different years. Oak Island has not been able to solve the mystery for 200 years. The area is closed for a while. Over the years, History Channel has sent a team to the island using modern equipment. The work of this team has started to be documented every week. But no treasure has been reached so far.
