    Looks a good place to hide treasure!

    Rob.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    In that case, though, the buildings would probably have collapesed or fallen into disrepair.

    I'll have to take pictures next time we kayak around the island. It is now exactly as you surmise. The house on the south end is merely two crumbling walls and the northern compound is a weed choked foundation.

    Now, where to look for the treasure?

    The rock is granite for the most part and actually pretty smooth due to glacial wear and tear. No docks, but paths and beached rowing skiffs to come.

    If you go spelunking on the island, the treasure should be hard to miss:

    According to most maps, you should expect a HUGE red cross of at least several hundred feet length for each stroke at scale on the island painted across the landscape.
