Oak Island Lot 5 The Forest Slipways: A Concealed 17th-Century Logistical Landing on Oak Island Author: Jerald Lee Harrah Jr.

Abstract

This paper introduces the term “Forest Slipways” to describe a previously underappreciated logistical system on Oak Island, Nova Scotia. The Forest Slipways consist of twin, side-by-side slipways extending from the shoreline inland to a U-shaped deck situated approximately 20 feet from the waterline, constructed on firm soil within a densely forested area. At the inland end, a capstan was used to haul boats fully onto the deck, creating a highly efficient and concealed unloading system. This paper reconstructs the Forest Slipways in detail, including dimensions, operational mechanics, and historical context, demonstrating its role as a small-scale, highly effective logistical hub suitable for 6–10 men.
