Abstract

Abstract This compendium synthesizes 48 individual studies by Jerald Lee Harrah Jr. examining Oak Island, Nova Scotia, through the lenses of French-era naval logistics, hydraulic engineering, and maritime infrastructure. The collected works reinterpret the island not as a site of treasure myth but as a purposefully engineered operational hub spanning the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Features such as stone depressions, forest wharves, hydraulic basins, latrine systems, and engineered swamp channels are analyzed as components of coordinated naval, logistical, and shipyard systems. By linking each study through DOI references, this publication provides a centralized, citable framework for researchers, historians, and enthusiasts. It highlights patterns across multiple Lots—including 5, 25, and 26—demonstrating how hydraulic control, shipyard operations, and logistical networks were integrated to support French maritime activity. This meta-paper serves as both a comprehensive synthesis and a dynamic resource, allowing continued expansion and versioning while maintaining a permanent Concept DOI for scholarly reference.
