Did a Sawpit start the Legend?

[Armchair detective]

Finding a video showing how they work is preliminary to this discussion. Of note is the requirement that a pit be built with a wooden floor AT TEN FEET.

Did the original three just find a filled in old pit?

Was Lunenburg the closest shipyard at the time, and when did it begin operations?

Was a ship built or repaired on the island?

Some historical info is needed here.

Good point.

Here is an example of a partially abandoned filled in one. It would not be stretch of imagination to think some thing like treasure was buried there? Especially if the was pulley over pit which would be been used to help move logs over the pit. Timber planks could of been on the floor to stop the bottom sawyer have his feet constantly sinking in mud.

Logs had been cut down in the past on the island people lived there. Maybe not boat building but certainly cutting timber into planks could of been the allusion of pit that was in a sink hole.

That could account for bits and pieces of history that been claimed to have been found on the show. those items that have not been planted that is.

on that note

This old black birdie thinks some thing else will be discovered on curse of Oak Island before long? ya have PM me for that one.
