 | Grand Manan Island is the largest of the Fundy Islands in the Bay of Fundy. It is also the primary island in the Grand Manan Archipelago, sitting at the boundary between the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine on the Atlantic coast. |  |
 | As early as 1875 searches were made on the west side of the island for treasure allegedly buried by Captain William Kidd. For nearly 200 years, this remote area of the island has been called the "Money Cove". |  |
 | Captain William Kidd (c. 22 January 1645 – 23 May 1701) was a Scottish sailor who was tried and executed for piracy after returning from a voyage to the Indian Ocean. He was hanged on 23 May 1701, at 'Execution Dock', Wapping, in London. During the execution, the hangman's rope broke and Kidd was hanged on the second attempt. His body was gibbeted over the River Thames at Tilbury Point—as a warning to would-be pirates—for three years. The belief that Kidd had left buried treasure contributed greatly to the growth of his legend. |  |
 | Just before his death on the gallows, Captain Kidd said, "After my death, you may find treasure I have buried in a place where two tides meet." Some point to the Bay of Fundy, where two tides meet and the place where Captain Kidd hid his treasure.  Indian Beach |  |
 | In 2007 a wreck of a treasure ship captured by William Kidd was found in the Caribbean. Lying in just 10ft of water, the Quedah Merchant is on the seabed off the island of Hispaniola, which is split between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Marine archaeologists were amazed that the wreck, which was scuttled in 1699, had lain undiscovered for so long. The Quedah Merchant was perhaps Kidd's greatest prize. A 400-ton Moorish trader from Armenia, it was loaded with gold, silver and fine silks. |  |
