The Treasure of Captain William Kidd.

[BennyV]

Thanks, good to know. At least a documented place he stopped on his way. I always wonder why people look for that island in so many places because his journey is more or less documented. His crew would have corrected the account given of his voyage.

Given that he claimed to have hidden a that extremely valuable treasure one can assume that the authorities would have questioned any crew they could get hold on about any landfall. Also I am quite sure his crew was suspicious of him hiding anything out of the bounty. For what is well documented they didn't like or trust him very much!

He didn’t trust them and they didn’t trust him.

I think Kidd was definitely a calculating kind of guy who protected his backend just in case. I think the treasure is real and within a day’s sail from NYC.

I do wonder if the treasure really is on Charles Island.

I've been on the island a few times in my life but l do remember a large rock l saw as a kid and wondered if it was buried there. I'll have to go back and look, but due to the 30+ years, erosion, hurricanes and other storms, the island has changed.
