The report goes on and I quote:
"The coconut fibre, if verified as we believe it will be, may have reached Oak island through four primary pathways:
i: Planted on the island by previous searchers
ii:natural transport by gulf stream and inshore currents
iii: dunnage discharge at Oak Island by a previous ship
iv: brought and used by ancient voyagers for flood tunnel purposes
One problem with a couple of these possible pathways is that it did not exist anywhere in the Atlantic Basin during the periods determined by the dating, that would include the Caribbean and the Mediterranean except for the far Eastern end through trade with India. Coconut was first introduced to the Atlantic by the Portuguese in 1500.
