Oak Island — My 9-Piece System — Oak Island is just Piece 1

Oak Island Piece 1:

La Isle des chena = The Isle of Oaks

I picked it because on the Zena Halpern map, dead center of the island, it says La Isle des chena — the isle of oaks. I value it because this is the factory — the King's scraping island. The map names it for what it is.

Oak Island Piece 2:

Fort Royal / Port-Royal — The Farm

I picked it because it was capital 112 of 144 years. I value it because it grew the food that fed LaHave, Merligueche, and my factory at Oak Island.

Oak Island Piece 3:

Fort LaHave — Headquarters 9 Miles Away

I picked it because it was capital 1632-1636, Razilly's 300 men. I value it because it's where the company started — 9 miles from Oak Island.

Oak Island Piece 4:

Merligueche / Lunenburg — The Lumber Yard is 5 Miles Away.

I picked it because Denys had his oak lumbering between LaHave and Merligueche. I value it because that's where the white oak planks were cut and shipped to France.

Oak Island Piece 5:

Mahone Bay / La Baye de Toutes Isles / Bay of Mirlingaiche — The Protected Harbor

I picked it because Denys said "fine islands filled with great oaks" and the 1686 survey says it holds 2000 ships always afloat. I value it because 365 islands protect the factory.

Oak Island Piece 6:

Cap Sable / Fort La Tour —

The Southwest Guard

I picked it because d'Aulnay ran it from Port-Royal. I value it because it guards the southwest border and timber.

Oak Island Piece 7:

Pentagouet / Castine —

The Southern Guard

I picked it because d'Aulnay ran it from Port-Royal. I value it because it guards the south against New England.

Oak Island Piece 8:

Canso / Chedabucto —

The Eastern Guard

I picked it because d'Aulnay ran it from Port-Royal. I value it because it guards the east — the fishery.

Oak Island Piece 9:

Saint John River / Miscou —

The Northern Guard

I picked it because d'Aulnay ran both from Port-Royal. I value it because they guard the north — Fundy and the Gulf entrance.

Conclusion:

Oak Island Is Just Piece 1

For 230 years people have looked at Oak Island alone.

Nine different places in Nova Scotia. When you study them apart, they don't make much sense. But when you put them together, you see the system.

Just like my Oak Island nine piece puzzle. All pieces studied alone don't make sense, but when you put it together, it looks very clear.

Oak Island is just Piece 1.

Piece 1 is La Isle des chena on the Zena Halpern map — The Isle of Oaks. Dead center of the island.

The map names it for what it is.

The factory.

The King's scraping island.

Piece 2 is Port-Royal, capital 112 of 144 years. The farm that fed LaHave, Merligueche, and my factory at Oak Island.

Piece 3 is LaHave, capital 1632-1636, Razilly's 300 men. Headquarters 9 miles from Oak Island. Where the company started.

Piece 4 is Merligueche, the lumber yard 5 miles away. Denys had his oak lumbering between LaHave and Merligueche. Where the white oak planks were cut and shipped to France.

Piece 5 is Mahone Bay, La Baye de Toutes Isles, Bay of Mirlingaiche. Denys said "fine islands filled with great oaks" and the 1686 survey says it "holds 2000 ships always afloat." 365 islands that protect the factory.

Pieces 6 to 9 are the four guards, all run by d'Aulnay from Port-Royal. Cap Sable guards the southwest and timber. Pentagouet guards the south against New England. Canso guards the east, the fishery. Saint John River and Miscou guard the north, Fundy and the Gulf entrance.

9 pieces. 1 business model. 2 Kings.

When you see them together, it is not a treasure hunt anymore. It is a King Run Business. Archive backed.

That is why the French business model fits best.
