There were alot of Captain Kidd Treasure stories back in the day. They all sound southern In Nature.

Very clearly something was written on the back of this paper (right side mirrored and filters applied)
If I had a higher resolution pic I could make it at least in part readable!

I can't make out anything Bocaj. The map reference you asked about is from my files. I think I copied out of a book that I read. There's also a pic or photocopy of the original "Sarah Kidd" chart that exists, but I lost my copy. I will post it here if I can find it.

It can't hurt. At least not for those who do not mistake their dreams for reality. In any case the "photo" you posted smells fake. Didn't see that in the first moment...

I am almost sure that this so called photo is a "improved" version of what we already have copied on an old paper to make it look more authentic. Some details are almost not visible anymore and others (lines mostly) somehow are visible where you can't see them on the black/white copy. Probably from some book to promote authenticity. In any case it is too low-res to prove or disprove anything. But the writing on its back is very strange as it would have been mentioned before if the copy was authentic.

In any case I doubt that any expert would give an opinion on such a low-res digital version without any reference where it is from. The missing original copies present a major problem when trying to prove it to be either fake or authentic. I honestly don't care that much. Even if fake I think the island itself exists and had some history of being used by pirates and smugglers as a hideout. It has a strong mythical value even without any treasure.
