Lol, you haven't convinced me of anything yet but keep trying.
It is documented that many Templars escaped France in 1307 to a relative early safety in England and later that year to Scotland. Those captured in England faced some five years of imprisonment and torture (look it up).
It is documented that the Templars had vessels in port in La Rochelle in 1307 (look it up).
It is also documented those vessels disappeared in 1307. There is testimony that Gerard Villiers led some of those vessels from port shortly before the arrests of the French Templars on October 13, 1307 (look it up).
It is documented that the Templars were called to France in early 1307 by their boss, the Pope (look it up).
There is documentation that coconut coir was used in all vessels of the Eastern Mediterranean where the Templars had been based in very early 1307 before being called to France and for the 200 years previously (look it up). It is certain they would have used the coir in their own vessels.
It is a known fact that coconut coir was not used anywhere else around the Mediterranean during that same period (look it up).
Coconut coir was found on Oak Island and dated by reliable sources to before the 14th century (this you already know ).
This is convincing evidence that the Templars visited Oak Island and in my own opinion actually proof of such a visit.
For treasure hunters, there are 10 easy to follow clues that eventually lead to an exact location near Annapolis Basin where I premise the Templars left an object they had recovered from the Cathar fortress of Monsegur on March 14, 1244.
There is no record of any vessels from any other nation visiting Oak Island before the 15th century, a voyage which any nation would have recorded as did Portugal when it began ocean exploration several years later (look it up). Even the Vikings left records of where they went (look it up).
Of course as anybody would understand the Templars running from certain imprisonment and torture left no record of where they went, but the fact is they did leave.
Also, you have claimed that Mediterranean galleys could not have made such a voyage, maybe, maybe not, but there were many other types of vessels in use besides these large galleys, such as the Mediterranean Caravel and its Muslim counterpart it had evolved from (look it up). There is no record of which type of vessels de Molay and his 60 knights with all their retinue and treasures sailed from Cyprus to France in obedience to the Pope's order.
Cheers, loki
Serious detractors would answer these statements point by point!
Cheers, Loki
