Do.."Loose Lips Sink Ships" or was it really..."Freemasons"?
Thread: “Oak Island” the “Strange”, the “Bizarre”, and “Maybe” the "Truth”! Post #188
More and More pieces of ships' parts are turning up on Oak Island!
My theory stated that the ships used were scuttled and all metal pieces ie: Canons, Anchors, bolts etc were placed at the bottom of the Money Pit's Shaft...Is it any wonder why they cannot drill past this obstacle?
I am predicting to await some metal piece coming forth with the markings of...HMS Sterling Castle.
The quantity of ships needed by the Freemasons to transport the plunder from the sacking of Havana's Morro Castle was immense.
The ships used and the treasure transported had to be accountable to the crown.
With all Admirals on "board" (Shirley, Keppel, Anson, Pollock) the lie presented, that most of these ships were lost not in battle but in an unexpected storm was accepted by the War Commission.
Britian had seized 20% of the ships of the line of the Spanish Navy, namely Aquilón (74), Conquistador (74), Reina (70), San Antonio (64), Tigre (70), San Jenaro (60), África (70), América (60), Infante (74) and Soberano (74), together with 3 frigates, 9 smaller vessels including the Marte (18) commanded by Domingo de Bonechea and some armed vessels belonging to trading companies (Compañía de La Habana and Compañía de Caracas). Furthermore, two new almost-completed ships of the line were seized in the dockyards - San Carlos (80) and Santiago (60 or 80).
Spanish ships that may have been used and declared lost:
América (Nuestra Señora de Belen) 64 (1736) - Captured by Britain 1762, released?
San Genaro 60 (1761) - Captured by Britain 1762, same name, lost 1763
San Carlos 80 (-) - Destroyed on stocks at Havana, 1762
Santiago 80 (-) - Destroyed on stocks at Havana, 1762
Numerous unnamed Privateer ships declared lost
British ships that may have been used and declared lost:
Stirling Castle was declared unserviceable and was stripped and scuttled in the upper reaches of Havana harbor on 14 September 1762, on the orders of Admiral George Pocock.[3]
HMS Temple was a 68-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy Commissioned under the command of Washington Shirley she foundered at sea and was lost
HMS Marlborough 68-gun ship Whilst making her way back to Britain after participating in the reduction of Havana in 1762, Marlborough was caught in very heavy weather. On 29 November her crew were forced
to abandon the ship, which was sinking. All of Marlborough's crew were taken off by HMS Antelope. On her way home to England Antelope encountered Marlborough, under Captain Thomas Burnett, which had sailed from
Havana as part of the escort of a convoy of prizes and transports, but had become separated in very heavy weather. She was leaking so badly that her guns had to be thrown overboard and the pumps kept working.
Antelope took all her people off on 29 November when she started to founder and she was allowed to sink.
