  • MARTY LAGINA: Sure.

  • We catch you drinking, huh?

  • When we're out working, catch you guys drinking.

  • Hey, guys.

  • There they are.

  • I hope you have good news for us.

  • We do.

  • NARRATOR: Following their meeting

  • with blacksmithing expert, Carmen Legge, Marty

  • and Alex Lagina, along with Gary Drayton,

  • arrive at the Mug and Anchor Pub in nearby Mahone Bay,

  • where they are eager to share his report with Rick Lagina

  • and other members of the team.

  • Any time you go show stuff to Carmen, you get a surprise.

  • RICK LAGINA: Yeah.

  • JACK BEGLEY: What did you end up showing him this time?

  • I kind of knew he would be excited about this.

  • And he turned it over and over and over.

  • According to Carmen, this is a brace from a typical nine-inch

  • diameter ship's timber.

  • [WHISTLES]

  • DAVE BLANKENSHIP: Yeah.

  • And it's broken.

  • And it would have been all the way around.

  • And he was really excited about this.

  • And then he measured it, which was interesting.

  • He measured the distance.

  • And he went like this, and he said,

  • this is off a sailing ship.

  • Yep. JACK BEGLEY: Wow.

  • That's what he said.

  • An old ship, as well.

  • So you know what I'm going to ask you, Gary.

  • How old was it?

  • He said this was typical 1710 to 1719.

  • JACK BEGLEY: Wow.

  • What's the ship part doing there?

  • Well, we have got that ship anomaly in that area.

  • MARTY LAGINA: That's true.

  • This seems to have come under significant stress.

  • He didn't say anything about that?

  • It was burned as well.

  • It's signs of being burned.

  • He was certain it had been burned.

  • And he said in a fierce fire.

  • What if it just ran aground?

  • What if it's carrying a bunch of treasure, and it runs aground,

  • and you need to offload it and hide it

  • because you can't get it off?

  • And what better way to hide it, set fire to it.

  • One of the theories about the swamp

  • is that the treasure ship was brought in, offloaded

  • of treasure, and either became grounded,

  • or they, for some reason, they couldn't get the ship out

  • and either burnt the ship or blew it up.

  • You say they needed the paved area,

  • a working platform, to offload.

  • Well, you're not going to get it precise, right?

  • It just needed to be a working platform.

  • So they don't fashion it perfectly.

  • They were in a haste to get whatever is on the ship

  • off and laid on a bunch of rocks.

  • Doesn't have to be smooth.

  • Look, the swamp, to me, was always interesting, right?

  • There's certainly something there.

  • There's some work yet to be done.

  • Maybe we find something that is highly definitive.

  • Agreed.

  • Well, Jack, I bet you're anxious to quit sitting around

  • and get back to digging.

  • Well, there's got to be more pieces

  • of the ship in the swamp.

  • That sounds like an end to this meeting to me.

  • - Yes. - Cheers.

  • Cheers.

  • Cheers.

  • NARRATOR: For the Laginas and their partners,

  • another week of hard work has ended.

  • But unlike most, this time, they not only

  • believe they might have found the location

  • of the original money pit, they've

  • also obtained physical evidence that a ship, possibly filled

  • with treasure, could have been deliberately

  • sunk and then hidden in the triangle-shaped swamp.

  • Could Rick, Marty, and their team

  • finally be on the verge of solving a 225-year-old mystery?

  • Or will they find that they've only just scratched the surface

  • of a much larger and more profound history, one that will

  • challenge everything they think they

  • know about a small 140-acre island

  • off the coast of Nova Scotia?

MARTY LAGINA: Sure.
