Elite Enclaves of the Northeast United States

What if something very different has been going on here on Earth from what we have always been taught to believe, and that what has been happening is only for the benefit of a very few, and not for the benefit of all?

I have come to the conclusion after years of research that there is much to question in the official history and science that has come down to us as unquestionable truths, and have decided to approach the subject about what might be really going on here from the perspective of the “Elite Enclaves of the New World,” so I have pulled together many of my research findings over this years about this topic, and new research I have done for this post, and what this might mean in the bigger picture.

“Elite Enclaves” commonly refer to the geography of high-income communities, and in this post, I am going to be specifically looking at places where elite families have lived, as well as vacationed in the summer months, since the early days of the United States; who lived in these place prior to these elite families; and speculate as to the reason why they may have chosen these places above all others.

The original civilization of the Earth was nothing at all like what we have been taught, even though the clues and evidence for the highly-advanced, original ancient advanced civilization surround us all over the Earth.

We don’t recognize the clues and evidence as such because we have no points of reference for them because Earth’s True History is not included the historical narrative we have been given, and instead have been given a fictional explanation for our history and how everything came to be in our world.

I am going to start by looking at the traditional lands of the Algonquin-speaking Lenape people, also called the Lenni Lenape and the Delaware Indians.

Lenape lands included present-day New Jersey; eastern Pennsylvania along the Delaware River watershed; New York City; western Long Island; and the Lower Hudson Valley.

According to the history we have been taught, everything changed for the Lenape who lived here after Henry Hudson sailed up what is now called the Delaware River in 1609, and this painting depicts what we are taught to believe about all the original people of this land – that they were hunter-gatherers living off the land, and framing the European colonizers as the builders of infrastructure and civilization in the so-called New World.

I am going to give you examples from here of why that narrative doesn’t quite hold up under scrutiny, and also about the fascination and interest the wealthy elites of American society have long had with this region.

So, for example, the highly-affluent Philadelphia suburbs along the railroad tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad are collectively called the “Main Line.”

The “Main Line” region was part of the “Lenapehoking,” the homelands of the Lenape people that ranged from western Connecticut to Delaware.

“Main Line” towns had the country estates of the wealthiest families of Philadelphia, including those from “Old Money” and “New Money.”

The “Old Philadelphians” is the name given to the First Families of Philadelphia from the old Colonial-era that are considered part of the historic core of the East Coast Establishment, the dominant social group comprised of a self-selecting, closed circle of elite families.

So in the example of the “Main Line” in Philadelphia, I am going to look at families like the Biddles, Drexels and the Hires.

Firstly, the Biddle family is one of the classic “Old Money” Philadelphia families, and considered part of the city’s historical social aristocracy.

The most famous family member was Nicholas Biddle, one of the most important financiers of the early republic.

Nicholas Biddle served as President of the Second Bank of the United States, which was headquartered in the Custom House in Philadelphia, which was said to have been built between 1819 and 1824.

Biddle represented elite centralized finance and he became nationally famous during the “Bank War” with President Andrew Jackson.

The “Bank War” took place between 1832 and 1836, and ultimately resulted in the dissolution of the Second Bank of the United States when President Jackson refused to recharter this Federal Bank, instead removing federal deposits and expanding state banks.

The Biddle family had several “Main Line” estates, but their family estate that really got my attention was not directly on the Main Line, though it is in the Greater Philadelphia area.

The ancestral home of the Biddle family was “Andalusia,”northeast of Philadelphia on the Delaware River in Bensalem Township, and is open to the public these days for tours.

The family estate is located on 75-acres, or 30-hectares, of land, with a mansion said to have been built as a summer home in 1795 that is considered one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the United States, and proportionally massive compared to the average height of people in our recent history as seen in this photo.

The mansion features original art, sculptures, and rare books & manuscripts that offer a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of early American high society.

The estate contains formal and informal gardens, and an accredited arboretum with over 250 unique species of plants and trees.

There are several things that I would like to mention here.

The first is Andalusia, the name of the estate.

Andalusia is the southernmost region of Spain.

It is noteworthy for its association with Moorish Spain, a nearly 800-year-period between 711 AD and 1492 AD in our historical narrative that the Moors were recognized for their contributions to civilization, and where they were credited with introducing such things as advanced science and magnificent architecture.

The city of Granada in Andalusia is where the beautiful complex of the Alhambra is located.

The Alhambra is perhaps the most famous example of Moorish architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of Moorish Spain.

The early American novelist Washington Irving first published his “Tales of the Alhambra: A Series of Tales and Sketches of the Moors and Spaniards” in 1832.

We are told that Washington Irving was in Spain between 1826 and 1829, during which time he published a biography of Christopher Columbus in 1828…

…and he published a book in 1829 after travelling to Granada on “A Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada,” a history of the years 1478 to 1492, and during which time he had also gathered the legends and tales about the Alhambra.

In my post “The Backfill of History and the Shaping of Our New Historical Narrative,” I have expressed my belief among other things that famous authors were being used as programming devices with which to shape our collective minds with a new historical narrative and history that we have been thoroughly educated in, and completely covering up what was once a worldwide ancient Moorish Civilization.

I have identified a 450-year timeline between the Fall of the Moors in Granada in 1492, and 1942, midway through World War II, with 1717 as the mid-point year, that I believe our new false paradigm was based on, and believe that at some point in our narrative, world history has been fabricated and backfilled, and that at some point in our relatively modern history, likely sometime in the 1700s, history became real with the Controllers writing themselves in to the new historical narrative.

More on this to come.

Next, there are two things that I would like to note about Bensalem Township in Pennsylvania.

The first thing is that Bensalem was the name of the mythical utopian island in Sir Francis Bacon’s “New Atlantis” that was first published 1626, after his death in April of that same year.

“New Atlantis” was said to portray a future vision of human discovery and knowledge, and the novel depicts an enlightened utopian land where qualities like generosity, high moral character, and honesty were commonly held by the inhabitants of a mythical island he called “Bensalem.”

There was a state-sponsored scientific institution on Bensalem called “Salomon’s House,” said to envision in the book the modern research university in applied and pure sciences.

I believe Bacon’s “New Atlantis” was actually describing the original advanced and worldwide Moorish civilization, which was the same civilization we know of as Atlantis, that existed in our relatively recent past.

The second thing I would like to mention about Bensalem Township is that it is the current location of the bronze sculpture of a giant disembodied horse’s head called “Horse at Water” at the Parx Casino and Racetrack entrance, a thorough-bred horse-racing venue.

The sculpture was originally installed at the Marble Arch in London in 2011, and sculpted by British artist Nic Fiddian-Green.

They seem to be trying to make a connection between the disembodied horse’s head as somehow symbolizing horses in general and therefore perfectly natural to have at the entrance of a thoroughbred horse-racing venue, but no matter how you spin it, the disembodied horse’s head is still perceived as creepy in the public eye.

I provided numerous examples from around the world, including this one, of bizarre and shocking art in very public places in my blog post “Really Creepy Public Art,” and framed my belief at the end of it that this creepy public art is some sort of soft disclosure, designed to circumvent the requirement of needing to tell us what they have done and are doing to Humanity, without telling us they are telling us, by putting this artwork in places where people can interact with it and accept it as “Art,” without knowing it is communicating to us something that has been very well-hidden about the world we are living in.

Next, the Drexel family.

The Drexel family was one of the classic Main Line families from the Gilded Age and the early 20th-century.

The family’s wealth originated in Center City Philadelphia banking through Drexel and Company, and we are told the Drexel family was very influential in the development of Philadelphia and the surrounding area.

Francis Martin Drexel was an Austrian-American painter and banker who founded the banking house of “Drexel and Company” in Philadelphia in 1837, which became one of the largest banks in the United States.

The firm initially specialized as a currency brokerage firm, specializing in discounting privately-issued bank notes and trading foreign exchange, which laid the foundation for it to become a global financial powerhouse.

Anthony Joseph Drexel, the son of Francis, played a major role in the rise of global finance after the American Civil War.

He founded “Drexel, Morgan and Company” in 1871, with J. P. Morgan as his junior partner.

J. P. Morgan was an American financier and banker who dominated corporate finance on Wall Street throughout the period of time called the “Gilded Age,” between the years of 1870 and 1900.

He was a driving force behind the wave of industrial consolidation in the United States in the late 18th- and early 19th-centuries.

Morgan was behind the formation of the U. S. Steel Corporation, General Electric, and International Harvester, among many other mergers.

J. P. Morgan’s father was Junius Spencer Morgan.

Junius Spencer Morgan was the founder of the company that would become J. S. Morgan & Company in 1864, that was the successor company to the London-based George Peabody & Company, of which he became the Junior Partner in October of 1854.

In 1854, Morgan was put in charge of the firm’s iron portfolio, which included the marketing of railroad bonds in London and New York.

Back in Philadelphia, perhaps the most famous Drexel Estate on the “Main Line” is the Wootton Estate in Radnor.

It is described as a magnificent summer estate developed by publisher George Childs and his partner Anthony Joseph Drexel.

It featured a 50-room mansion that was said to have been built in 1881, and since 1950 has been the home of the St. Aloysius Academy, the only private, Catholic, all-boys school in the Philadelphia-area.

A couple of interesting side-notes here.

One is that the second-American saint born in the United States, Saint Katherine Drexel, was the daughter of banker Francis Anthony Drexel, the oldest son of Francis Martin Drexel and brother of Anthony Joseph Drexel.

In 1891, she founded what was called the “Congregation of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament for Indians and Colored People” in Bensalem, in which she used the vast wealth of $20-million she inherited from her father to finance schools and missions for Native Americans and African-Americans in our historical narrative.

This is the Saint- Katharine Drexel Mission Center and Shrine in Bensalem.

Also interesting to note that Anthony Joseph Drexel was the first president of the Fairmount Park Art Association, the nation’s first private organization dedicated to integrating public art and urban planning that was established in Philadelphia in 1872.

Today, the Association for Public Art works with the city’s Public Art Office, Fairmount Park, and other agencies responsible for placing and caring for outdoor sculptures in Philadelphia.

Like the “Government of the People” statue in the plaza of the Municipal Services Building in Center City, Philadlephia.

It is described thus: A tower of intertwined human arms, legs, and torsos that are arranged in a three-tier totem, with a family at the base representing life; a young couple above representing hope; and figures at the top holding a turbulent shape that is meant to symbolize the banner and flag of Philadelphia.

Fairmount Park in Philadelphia was the location of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, the first official World’s Fair in the United States,

We are told it was held to celebrate the 100th-Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

German architect Herman Schwarzmann was given the credit for designing all the buildings for the Centennial Exposition, starting in 1869.

This is the Memorial Hall in Fairmount Park, said to have been built as the Art Gallery for the 1876 Centennial Expo, and the only major structure from that exhibition to survive to the present day.

It is currently called the Please Touch Museum, which focuses on teaching mostly children seven-years-old and younger through interactive exhibits and special events.

This was inside the original Horticultural Hall, no longer standing, that was said to be designed for the 1876 Exposition in the Moresque style of the twelfth-century…

…and looks a lot on the outside on the top, like some Oklahoma High Schools to me, like this historic photo of the original Central High School in Tulsa, on the bottom.

The largest Corliss Steam Engine ever built, with its 1,400-horsepower engine, was on display in, and generated all the energy used in, the Machinery Hall during the 1876 Exhibition.

The Corliss Steam Engine was said to have been invented by George Henry Corliss, and patented in 1849. It is a steam engine fitted with rotary valves and variable valve timing, and generally 30% more fuel efficient than conventional steam engines.

Somebody left me this comment after I uploaded the video four years ago called “Exposing Exihibitions, Expositions, and World Fairs Since 1851” about the Corliss Engine looking like a Rukma Vimana.

I looked it up, and sure enough, it does look like a Rukma Vimana!

This was the frontal view of the Corliss steam engine from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition on the left, and an illustration of the Rukma Vimana on the right.

Vimanas have come down to us as ancient flying vehicles that are described in ancient Indian texts.

Lastly for families on the “Main Line,” on the “Lenapehoking,” the homelands of the Lenape people, I want to look at the Hires family.

Charles E. Hires created “Hires Root Beer,” which gained popularity in the 1870s.

The Hires Family came into prominence in the Gilded Age through manufacturing and consumer products and would be considered more “new money” by Philadelphia standards of the day.

He was described as a pharmacist, who developed health remedies and flavoring extracts as he developed his root beer drink, the first successful commercial root beer soft drink.

Charles Hires also owned sugar plantations in Cuba and dairies for his condensed milk factories and plants in the Philadelphia-area and across the country.

Charles Hires had a 21-acre, or 8 1/2-hectare, estate in Merion Station called Rose Hill, as well as one on Buck Lane in Haverford.

There was also the Wanamaker family, which had the Lindenhurst Estate in Jenkinstown, north of Philadelphia, but not directly part of the “Main Line” suburbs of wealthy families.

The Wanamaker family, like the Hires family, was also a “New Money” family, from the Gilded Age, rising to prominence through John Wanamaker, the founder of “Wanamaker’s Department Store” and which went on to became one of the most important and influential department stores in American retail history.

Department stores emerged in the 19th-century as a new way of organizing retail, where one store sold a huge range of goods instead of buying from open-air markets, specialty stores, peddlers and dry-goods stores.

American department stores developed rapidly after the Civil War, which took place in our narrative between 1861 and 1865.

They emerged with industrialization and the mass production of consumer goods; the rise of railroads and steamships facilitating the distribution of goods nationwide; and advertising through newspapers and catalogues.

Interesting to note the Moorish-looking appearance of the 1876 Wanamaker’s Department Store building in Philadelphia shown here.

Wanamaker’s was comparable in prestige and scale to Macy’s in New York, and Selfridge’s in London, though it no longer exists as a retail business.

The Wanamaker Grand Court Organ, the largest fully-functioning pipe organ in the world, today is located in the 7-story Grand Court of Macy’s Center City, formerly Wanamaker’s Department Store.

Said to have been built for the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, it has 28, 750-pipes and is famous for its orchestra-like sound as it was designed to imitate a full-size orchestra.

After the World’s Fair in St. Louis, it was said to have languished in storage until 1909, at which time it was purchased by John Wanamaker for his department store in Center City, Philadelphia.

Macy’s Center City is literally just around the corner from the Philadelphia City Hall.

This part of Philadelphia is the historic center of the city.

Philadelphia’s City Hall is the world’s tallest, free-standing masonry building, said to have been designed in the ornate Second French Empire-style of Emperor Napoleon III, and constructed from brick, white marble, and limestone between 1871 and 1901.

At the time it was completed, it was said to have the tallest clock-tower in the world.

Before I go further, I would like to mention it was when I was researching “Creating the New World from the Old World – Part 3 The Centuries of Exploration” in June of 2020 that I first came to believe that the history about early explorers in school and in our culture is back-filled information and did not really happen as we have been taught, including but not limited to, Henry Hudson who we are told changed everything for the Lenape of this region.

At that time, I found this 1909 publication about Henry Hudson by Thomas Allibone Janvier, described as an American story-writer and historian.

Earlier biographies of Henry Hudson included a book about Henry Hudson that was published by G. M. Asher in 1860 entitled “Henry Hudson the Navigator,” which served as a foundational biographical source for later writers…

…and one that was published by Edgar M. Bacon in 1907 called “Henry Hudson: His Times and His Voyages.”

When I was researching the Hudson River, I found out that a replica of Henry Hudson’s ship the “Half Moon” was said to have been built in 1912 and moored at the dock of the Bear Mountain State Park on the Hudson River.

With regards to the history of this park, this is what we are told.

In January of 1909, the State of New York purchased a 740-acre tract of land at Bear Mountain, with plans to build Sing-Sing Prison there, but conservationists stopped the prison from being built.

Later that year, the newly-widowed Mary Averill Harriman, wife of Union Pacific Railroad President and American Financier Edward Henry Harriman who died in September of 1909, offered the state another 10,000 acres – and $1,000,000 – towards the creation of a state park.

American Progressive politician and businessman George W. Perkins, a partner in the J. P. Morgan Company and President of the Palisades Interstate Commission since 1900, with whom Mary Harriman had been working, managed to raise another $1.5-million from a dozen wealthy contributors, including John D. Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan.

The state matched the contributions with a $2.5-million appropriation, and Bear Mountain-Harriman State Park came into being in 1910, and managed by the Palisades Interstate Commission, which was formed in 1900 by New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt and New Jersey Governor Foster Vorhees.

The firm Harriman Brothers & Company grew out of the business empire of W. Averrill Harriman and E. Roland Harriman, the sons of railroad magnate Edward Henry Harriman.

Harriman Brothers & Company merged with the Brown Brothers, originating from Alex. Brown and Sons, the first investment banking firm in the United States in 1800, to become known as the “Brown Brothers Harriman & Company,” one of the oldest and largest private investment banks in the United States.

Founding partners of the “Brown Brothers Harriman & Company” included W. Averill Harriman, the son of railroad baron Edward Henry Harriman and Mary Harriman, and Secretary of Commerce under President Harry S. Truman…

…and Prescott Bush, American banker and politician, and the father of President George H. W. Bush.

Investment banker E. Roland Harriman, AKA “Bunny,” was also the Chairperson of the Board of Governors of the American Red Cross from 1950 to 1973.

Prescott Bush and E. Roland Harriman attended Yale University at the same time, where they were both members of the “Skull and Bones” Society.

Over the years I have been researching, I have encountered people like Ernst Georg Ravenstein, who was born in Germany in 1834, publishing books in the 19th-century about famous early explorers.

Like Bartolomeu Dias, the Portuguese explorer said to have sailed around the southernmost tip of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope, in 1488, setting up the route from Europe to Asia later on.

Ravenstein was credited with writing the first biography of Dias that was originally published in 1900 and republished in 2010.

Ravenstein was also said to have translated the only known copy of a journal believed to have been written on-board ship during Portuguese explorer’s Vasco da Gama’s voyage to India, which was published in 1898, who made it to India in a journey between 1497 and 1499 in our historical narrative.

Next I am going to move on into the State of New Jersey from the Philadelphia-area, and look at places like Ong or Ong’s Hat, Lake Lenape, Atlantic City, Sayreville, the Navesink Twin Lights, and Holmdel.

First, Ong.

While it is not an elite enclave, I believe it is part of the story of what has taken place here to bring us to the world we live in today.

Ong, or Ong’s Hat, is a ghost town in the Brandon T. Byrne State Forest, and the northern terminus of the Batona Trail, a 53.5-mile, or 86.1-kilometer, hiking trail through the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

Ong is 29-miles, or 47-kilometers, east of Philadelphia.

Ong’s Hat was also considered one of the earliest, internet-based, conspiracy theories.

Ong’s Hat is also listed as the first Alternate Reality Game (ARG) on many lists of ARGs.

We are told that “Ong’s Hat” was a work of alternate-reality collaborative fiction, beginning back in the 1980s and embedded in various media to establish a backstory, and that author Joseph Matheny concluded the project.

Interesting to note on this cover that there are two Moors depicted on it, as seen on the lower left and upper right.

The Ong’s Hat tale was told about a group of physics and science professors from Princeton who ran chaos theory and quantum physics experiments from an ashram there to travel interdimensionally through a device called “The Egg,” and they were camped out in another world.

“The Egg” was said to have been developed by these physicists and scientists as a sensory deprivation chamber, and used by them to determine when a wave becomes a particle.

One day “The Egg” disappeared, and the young man within explained that in the seven-minutes he was gone, he had travelled to an alternate dimension of the Earth.

According to the story about “Ong’s Hat,” these experiments continued over the years, until the military threatened their research, at which time they moved entirely in to the alternate dimension, only coming back for supplies.

Interesting to note that Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, the only tri-service base in the U. S. Department of Defense, is right there, at a distance of only 8-miles, or 13-kilometers, north of Ong.

At any rate, Ong is reputed to be an interdimensional gateway.

Next, Lake Lenape Park.

This is what we are told about Lake Lenape Park on the Great Egg Harbor River.

The Great Egg Harbor River flows southeast in New Jersey from near Camden, entering the Great Egg Harbor about 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, southwest of Atlantic City.

Lake Lenape was formed after the construction of a dam in May’s Landing around 1847, with the land having previously been an apple orchard.

Interesting to note the megalithic stones used in the construction of the dam.

Lake Lenape Park was said to have first opened in the early 1900s.

Named for the indigenous people who lived here, Lake Lenape Park features Lakeside Manor, a popular wedding and special event venue.

We are told that in 1854, the first railroad was built in the area between Camden and Atlantic City.

So let’s take a look at what they tell us about Atlantic City, which was Lenape land prior to the arrival of European settlers.

We are told in our historical narrative that Jeremiah Leeds was the first permanent European settler in the Atlantic City-area in 1783.

But it was not until 1850 that the idea of this becoming a resort location was conceived, and the first hotel here was said to have been built in 1853.

What became known as “Atlantic City” was incorporated in 1854, the same year that train service began on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad mentioned previously, and providing a direct link to Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.

The first Atlantic City Boardwalk was said to have been built in 1870.

By 1874, an estimated 500,000 were coming to Atlantic City each year by the railroad, and we are told that there were so many people coming to Atlantic City by 1878 that the decision was made to build the Philadelphia and Atlantic City Railroad was constructed to accommodate the increased ridership.

Then, in order to accommodate the increasing number of tourists coming to Atlantic City, massive hotels like the United States Hotel sprang up.

And all of the new railroad lines that were popping up betwixt and between these large population centers and the South Jersey shore were going right through the desolate, swampy and forbidding New Jersey Pine Barrens.

Today there are abandoned trains and railroad lines found throughout the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

Atlantic City’s Steel Pier was said to have been built by the Steel Pier Company that first opened in June of 1898 as an amusement park built on a pier.

Called the “Showplace of the Nation,” it was one of the most popular entertainments in the United States for 70 years.

The Steel Pier continues to operate as an amusement park to this day.

Other examples of the original Moorish-style architecture in Atlantic City included the Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel, which was said to have been built between 1902 and 1906, and demolished in October of 1978…

…the Traymore Hotel, said to have opened in its most recent form in 1906 and demolished in 1972…

…and the Hotel Windsor, about which I can’t find any information to speak of, but presumably long gone.

When I was looking around Atlantic City, I also found out that the largest organ in the world by number of pipes, officially with 33,113, is in the Main Auditorium of the Boardwalk Hall, formerly known as the Atlantic City Convention Hall.

What we are told is that it is one of the few surviving buildings from Atlantic City’s hey-day as a seaside resort.

Recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records as the largest and loudest musical instrument ever constructed, it is called the “Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ,” also known as the “Poseidon,” and the “Midmer-Losh,” after the defunct pipe-organ building business that was said to have built the instrument between 1929 and 1932.

This organ has not been fully functional since 1944, when it was first damaged in the 1944 Great Atlantic Hurricane, during which time the Boardwalk Hall was flooded with seawater.

Further damage to the organ was said to have taken place in 2001 when it was improperly handled by workmen during a renovation of the Boardwalk Hall.

While we are told that restoration efforts have been on-going, as of yet it’s not fully-operational.

This is an old postcard showing the Atlantic City and Shore Railroad crossing a two-mile, or 3-kilometer, -long trestle bridge in the middle of the Great Egg Harbor Bay, and was part of an interurban trolley system in New Jersey that served Somers Point and several other cities between Atlantic City and Ocean City in the years between 1907 and 1948.

The reason given for the end of its operation was a hurricane damaging the viaduct in 1948, and fixing it was cost prohibitive because of the decline in trolley use.

Continuing to track the coastline heading north along the New Jersey shoreline from Lake Lenape and Atlantic City, we come to Sayreville, the Navesink Twin Lights, and Holmdel.

First, Sayreville.

Sayreville is located at the mouth of the Raritan River where it enters Raritan Bay in the New York – New Jersey Estuary System.

This whole area is part of what is called the New York – New Jersey Harbor Estuary System, forming one of the most intricate natural harbors in the world, as well as being the busiest port in the world as the Ports of New York and New Jersey are contained within it.

An “estuary” is defined as a partially-enclosed, coastal body of brackish water, which is water that is salty, dirty & unpleasant, with one or more rivers flowing into it, and a connection to the open sea.

Estuaries have been on my radar for quite some time as ruined and sunken land and infrastructure.

Also known as the Hudson-Raritan Estuary, it is described as a harbor system of bays and tidal rivers where the Hudson, Hackensack, Rahway, Passaic and Raritan Rivers meet the Atlantic Ocean, which I believe were all once part of a gigantic canal system.

For one example of a canal in the area that is actually called a canal and not a river, the Delaware and Raritan Canal connects the Delaware River at Bordentown, New Jersey, and the Raritan River at New Brunswick, New Jersey.

This a distance of 44 miles, or 71 kilometers.

It goes through Trenton on its way to the New Brunswick Terminus.

We are told this canal was dug by Irish immigrants using hand-tools between 1830 and 1834, but the sophistication of the engineering of these canals does not match the low technology of the times in which they were said to have been built in our historical narrative.

At any rate, Sayreville at the entrance to the Raritan River received its name from James Sayre, Jr, of Newark, one of the two co-founders of the Sayre and Fisher Brick Company in 1850.

There are extensive clay deposits in the area, and the Sayre and Fisher Company quickly became one of the largest brick-making companies in the world.

Big companies including, but not limited to, DuPont established plants in Sayreville for gunpowder production initially in 1898, and later for paint and photo products.

The Raritan River Railroad operated freight and passenger service through here between 1888 and 1980, after which time Conrail took over rail operations.

This the logo for the Raritan River Railroad on the left, and this is the logo for Rolls Royce on the right….The similarity between these two logos tells me these two companies were connected in some way. …Besides the fact the logos look virtually identical, it brings to mind what I found on a leyline going through Derby, England.

Derby is the geographic center of England, and the Derwent River Valley in Derbyshire is considered the Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

Derby is the headquarters of the Civil Aerospace and Nuclear Division of Rolls-Royce, a global aerospace, defense, energy, and marine company focused on world-class power and propulsion systems.

Derby is also the location of the Railway Technical Center, the technical headquarters of British Rail, and considered the largest railway research complex in the world.

I strongly suspect the apparent connection we see in the similarity of the logos of the Raritan River Railroad and Rolls-Royce has to do with bringing the pre-existing railroad infrastructure back on-line, and that it was being funded by the early bankers and financiers that we have seen thus far.

Next, the Navesink Twin Lights are on the Navesink Highlands overlooking Sandy Hook at the entrance to the Lower New York Bay.

Navesink was also the name of the Lenape people who inhabited the Raritan Bayshore near Sandy Hook in the scenic highlands in eastern New Jersey.

The story goes that the Navesink lands were sold by Navesink elders to a group of Dutch businessmen for wampum and goods in March of 1664, the first and largest land sale deal along the Jersey Shore between Native Americans and Europeans, and that the Navesink received in return for their land such things as 5 coats; one gun; 12-pounds of tobacco; and 10 gallons of liquor.

The Navesink Twin Lights were said to have been built in 1862.

The American Civil War is said to have taken place between 1861 to 1865, so we are expected to believe this massive masonry structure was built during war-time.

The Navesink Highlands area is one of the most desirable luxury enclaves on New Jersey’s northern shore.

The region is known for its elevated views; large estates overlooking the Navesink River; proximity to Manhattan ferries; and historic coastal architecture.

Real estate prices here typically range from $1-million to $8-million or more.

Also, I find it quite interesting that according to historical narrative, this first and largest land sale deal along the Jersey Shore that took place here between Native Americans and Europeans, coincidentally…or not…is the same land that was the location of the first Bell Laboratory at Holmdel.

If I were to make an educated guess, I would say that this geographic location on the surface of the Earth was critically important to the original ancient advanced civilization.

What became Bell Labs at Holmdel had a direct connection to the Galactic Center, since this was where, among many other firsts, researchers like Karl Jansky, called the “Father of Radio Astronomy,” was credited with the discovery of radio waves coming from the Galactic Center.

Now I want to connect this information to the bigger picture puzzle pieces about this region.

The first thing I want to bring forward is the ruined looking appearance of the shoreline from the South Jersey Shore on up through the South Shore of Long Island, which is the same thing as the New York – New Jersey Bight.

Here’s a closer a look at the South Jersey shoreline up to the New York-New Jersey Estuary System, so you can get a better view of what I am referring to and then what the shoreline looks like going from the New York – New Jersey Estuary System across Long Island to Montauk Point.

And in spite of the marshy and wetland quality of the landscape hereabouts, this whole area is prime and valuable real estate that is, among other things, coveted by the very wealthy in our society as we shall see.

The New York Bight is described as a roughly triangular indentation along the Atlantic Coast of the northeastern United States from Cape May, New Jersey, to Montauk Point on the Eastern tip of Long Island.

“Bight” is the term given to a concave bend or curvature in a coastline.

Next I am going to turn my attention to the New York City-area, and Long Island.

There are two designations for historical elite families of New York City that I would like to mention here – the “Uppertens” and the “Four Hundred.”

First, the “Uppertens” was a 19th-century term referring to the wealthiest 10,000 families of New York City, coined in 1844 by Nathaniel Parker Willis, a writer and publisher who became the highest-paid magazine writer of his day.

It came to refer to the upper circles of other major cities besides New York City.

Interesting to note that Nathaniel Parker Willis started a magazine in 1846 with George Pope Morris called “Morris’s National Press – A Home Journal,” which is still with us today as “Town and Country,” the longest-running, continually-published, general-interest magazine in the United States.

The year of 1846 was the same year that Charles Dickens founded and edited the first edition of the “Daily News” in the United Kingdom, which merged with the “Daily Chronicle” in 1930, and was absorbed into “Daily Mail” in 1960.

So back to the “Uppertens.”

The “Uppertens” were the wealthiest and most socially-powerful families in Manhattan, who controlled fashion, culture, politics, philanthropy, and high society.

As time went on, the phrase “Uppertens” was short-hand for Old-Money Manhattan families and Fifth-Avenue Mansion society.

The most famous families associated with this world were the Astors; Vanderbilts; Whitneys; Livingstons; Roosevelts; Schermerhorns; and Morgans.

We are told that New York’s Fifth-Avenue came into existence in 1824 where it started in Washington Square, and soon became the premiere residential address where the grandest mansions ever seen were built as lavish displays of the wealth and status of their owners.

Like the Cornelius Vanderbilt II Mansion at 57th Street and 5th Avenue, which was demolished in 1927, and said to have been the largest private home ever built in Manhattan.

Staten Island-born Cornelius Vanderbilt, the family patriarch, got his start in regional steamboat lines and ocean-going steamships, and from there got into the railroad business.

He bought control of the Hudson River Railroad in 1864; the New York Central Railroad in 1867; the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad in 1869; and the Canada Southern Railway in 1876.

He consolidated his two key lines into the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1870, becoming one of the first giant corporations in the history of the United States

According to CNN Business, Cornelius Vanderbilt was the second-richest American in history, with an adjusted wealth of $205-billion.

By the 1880s, the social hierarchy became more formalized with the “Four Hundred,” a list of New York Society put together by Caroline Schermerhorn Astor and Ward McAllister, a popular arbiter of social taste in the “Gilded Age of America.”

What was the “Gilded Age?”?”

One definition that I found of “Gilded Age” is that it was a period of gross materialism and blatant political corruption in the United States from the 1870s to 1900.

Another definition is that it was an era of rapid economic growth, especially in the northern and western United States.

At any rate, what was known as the “Mrs. William B. Astor House” was said to have been completed in 1896 on Fifth Avenue for Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, the widow of real estate heir and racehorse owner/breeder William Backhouse Astor Jr, and for her son John Jacob Astor IV.

It was said to have been designed by Richard Morris Hunt in the architectural-style of the early French Renaissance period of King Louis XII from 1498 to 1515.

Mrs. Astor died in 1908, and her son John J. Astor IV was known in history as being the richest man on-board the Titanic when it sank on April 15th of 1912, and a prominent figureof his day who had been opposed to the creation of the Federal Reserve.

The “Mrs. William B. Astor Mansion” was demolished in 1926.

Mrs. Astor died in 1908, and her son John J. Astor IV was known in history as being the richest man on-board the Titanic when it sank on April 15th of 1912, and a prominent figure of his day who had been opposed to the creation of the Federal Reserve.

J. P. Morgan has long been suspected of having been behind what has come down to us as the sinking of the Titanic on April 15th of 1912.

We are told the Titanic sank with bankers opposed to the creation of the Federal Reserve on board.

John Jacob Astor IV was the great grandson of John Jacob Astor.

John Jacob Astor who made a fortune in real estate development, the fur trade, and opium smuggling, and was the progenitor of the Astor family in America.

John Jacob Astor was considered to be the world’s first multi-millionaire, and the third-richest American of all time according to CNN Business, with an adjusted wealth of $138-billion.

The Federal Reserve Act Passed Congress, and was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on December 23rd of 1913, the year following the sinking of the Titanic in our historical narrative.

It created and established the Federal Reserve System, and created the authority to issue Federal Reserve Notes (commonly known as the US dollar) as legal tender.

Federal Reserve Act

In the Bronx Borough of New York City, the “Thain Family Forest” is a tract of original old-growth forest that has never been logged in the New York Botanical Gardens along the Bronx River, once called the most precious natural possession of New York City.

It consists of several different kinds of trees, like oak, hemlock, beech, and sweet gum.

The New York Times tells us in a 2011 article about it that it was “where the Lenape trod,” the original people here, with the article telling us it was land on which they would hunt.

The New York Botanical Garden is located on 250-acres, or 100-hectares, across from the Bronx Zoo.

The New York Botanical Garden first opened in 1891, 8-years before the Bronx Zoo, and we are told that the first structures on the grounds opened about a decade-later.

This would include the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, a greenhouse said to have been designed by Lord & Burnham Company in the Italian Renaissance-style, which first opened in 1902

We are told that this conservatory was inspired in part by greenhouse-builder Joseph Paxton’s Crystal Palace, where the 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition in London was held, the first of a series of major World’s Fairs, Expositions, Exhibitions that took place primarily over the next 100-years, which were described as “large, global exhibitions designed to showcase the achievements of nations.”

So, for example, we are told the purpose of the first Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace was making clear to the world Britain’s role as industrial leader, while at the same time providing a platform on which other countries from around the world could display their achievements.

I have long seen them as showcasing the technology and architectural wonders of the original civilization before being hidden away or forever destroyed, like what we saw back in Philadelphia at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition.

The Bronx Zoo adjacent to the New York Botanical Garden is the largest metropolitan zoo in the United States, and first opened in November of 1899, featuring 843 animals in 22 exhibits.

We are told that the zoo’s original buildings, known as “Astor Court,” were designed and built as a series of Beaux-Arts Pavilions between 1899 and 1910.

I would also like to make note of the Century Association in New York City.

It was a private social, arts and dining club, and named after the first 100 people proposed as members.

The Century Association Building at 42 E. 15th Street was in-use by the association starting in 1857.

Members of the Century Association have included artists and writers like: poet and journalist William Cullen Bryant; landscape painter Frederick Edwin Church; landscape painter Winslow Homer; and best-known for stained-glass-work, Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Architect members have included: landscape-architects Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted; Beaux-Arts architects Carrere and Hastings, as well as York and Sawyer; and architects McKim, Meade and White, who were said to have defined the ideals of the American Renaissance in end-of-the-century New York.

Other members were said to have included: Eight U. S. Presidents; ten U. S. Supreme Court Justices; forty-three Members of the Presidential Cabinet; twenty-nine Nobel Prize Laureates; members of the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Roosevelt, and Astor families; as well as financier J. P. Morgan.

Now I am going to focus on Long Island, starting with Coney Island

Coney Island is located across the Lower New York Bay from where I was looking in New Jersey.

Coney Island is geographically on western Long Island, and is the southwestern tip of New York City’s Borough of Brooklyn.

Coney Island became connected to the rest of the main Long Island landmass through landfill in the early-20th-century.

Historically, there were three major amusement parks with Moorish-looking infrastructure/architecture on Brooklyn’s Coney Island – Steeplechase Park; Luna Park; and Dreamland.

Steeplechase Park on Coney Island was said to have been created by entrepreneur George Tilyou in 1897.

The park included over 50 attractions on its midway alone.

The only remaining structure from Steeplechase Park is the defunct Parachute Jump, next to Maimonades Park, the location of a minor league baseball stadium.

Coney Island’s Luna Park was said to have opened in 1903, and operated until 1944.

We are told the park’s architectural style was an oriental theme, with over 1,000 red and white painted spires, minarets, and domes on buildings constructed on a grand scale.

All the domes, spires, and towers were lit-up at night with hunreds of thousands of incandescent lights.

In the middle of the lake at the center of the park was a 200-foot, or 61-meter, tall Electric Tower that was decorated with 20,000 incandescent lamps.

The end of Luna Park came with two fires in 1944, one in August and one in October, which destroyed the park, and in 1946, the whole park was demolished.

There has been a Luna Park operating near the original location since 2010 that has no connection to the 1903 park.

Dreamland was the third and last of the three original parks said to have been built on Coney Island in the early 20th-century, first opening in 1904.

Everything at Dreamland was touted to be bigger than Luna Park, including the larger Electric Tower, and four times as many incandescent lights than Luna Park.

Dreamland’s life on Coney Island was ended only 7-years after opening.

On May 27th of 1911, a fire started at the Hell Gate attraction the night before the season’s opening day, and spread quickly, completely destroying the park by morning.

Next we come to Brighton Beach, Just west of Jamaica Bay, where we find megalithic rocks strewn about on the beach…

…and the explanation we are given for faces amongst the rocks was that there was a mystery artist in the 1970s who carved them.

Jamaica Bay is next, which is called a partially-manmade and partially natural estuary on the western-end of Long Island, and contains numerous marshy islands.

Jamaica Bay spreads across the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens.

John F. Kennedy International Airport is on the northeast side of Jamaica Bay.

Interestingly, there is a rapid transit line of the New York subway system that operates here, the IND Rockaway Line that runs between the Aqueduct Racetrack Station terminal through the marshy Jamaica Bay to the Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street Station terminal, like the previously-seen Atlantic City and Shore Railroad that crossed in the middle of the Great Egg Harbor Bay, and was part of an interurban trolley system in New Jersey between 1907 and 1948.

Going in a northeasterly direction on Long Island from Jamaica Bay, we come to the long, narrow, and shallow Great South Bay on Long Island’s South Shore in Suffolk County.

The Great South Bay is described as a shallow lagoon that is 45-miles, or 72-kilometers-, long, and has an average depth of a little over 4-feet, or 1.2-meters, and is 20-feet, or 6-meters, at its deepest.

I will share this book cover here and say that during the Gilded Age, the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Whitneys, Morgans, and Woolworths were said to have built summer mansions on the South Shore.

The elite families of the Gilded Age were also found on the North Shore of Long Island, also known as “Long Island’s Gold Coast.”

We are told “Long Island’s Gold Coast” had over 500 lavish mansions and castles built in 70-square-miles, or 180-kilometers-squared, by the very wealthy of the Gilded Age.

Like the Oheka Castle, which is also known as the Otto Kahn Estate, located on the North Shore of Long Island in the town of Huntington.

It was said to have been built between 1914 and 1919 as a country home for the investment financier Otto Kahn and his family, and was considered to be the second-largest private home in the United States.

Today, the Oheka Castle is an historic hotel with 32-guest rooms and suites.

In case you have never heard of him, the fabulously wealthy Otto Kahn was the inspiration for the Mr. Moneybags character of the Monopoly board game.

It is interesting how powerful but otherwise unknown people like this example here get inserted in our collective consciousness in seemingly innocent ways.

The Harbor Hill Moraine that skirts the North Shore of Long Island was said to have resulted from advancing glaciers 18,000 years ago…

…and named for Harbor Hill in Roslyn, New York, the highest point in Nassau County, where the Harbor Hill Mansion was said to have been built between 1899 – 1902 for the telecommunications magnate Clarence Hungerford Mackay, and designed by Stanford White of the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White.

Long Island Sound runs from west- to-east between the East River in New York City, along the North Shore of Long Island.

Long Island Sound is a tidal estuary and marine sound of the Atlantic ocean.

A sound is the term given to a smaller body of water connected to a larger sea or ocean.

Suffolk County on Long Island’s East End is comprised of the towns of Brookhaven, which includes the Long Island Central Pine Barrens; East Hampton; Southampton, which includes Westhampton; Shelter Island; Southold; and Riverhead.

I am going to highlight several places found here.

First, Brookhaven.

The town of Brookhaven on Long Island is the namesake of the Brookhaven National Laboratory in nearby Upton, a U. S. Department of Energy Laboratory.

The Department of Energy National Laboratory was established in 1947, with a stated desire to “explore peaceful applications for atomic energy” after World War II.

The Laboratory has developed a broader mission over time, including: nuclear and high-energy physics; physics and chemistry of materials; nanoscience; energy and environmental research; national security and nonproliferation; neuroscience; structural biology; and computational sciences.

The research facilities of Brookhaven National Laboratory include the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the first and one of two operating heavy-ion colliders, and only spin-polarized proton collider ever built.

It is also said to be the only operating particle collider in the United States, as physicists study the primordial form of matter that existed in the Universe after what we are told was the “Big Bang,” a physical theory about an event that describes how the Universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature.

The worlds’ other operating heavy-ion collider is the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC and also known as CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland.

In addition to the RHIC, the Brookhaven hosts the National Synchrotron Light Source II, designed to produce x-rays 10,000-times brighter than the original National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

We are told it supports basic and advanced energy technologies in a wide-variety of applications, from nano-catalyst-based fuel cells to economical use of solar energy in high-temperature superconductors in a high-capacity and high-reliability electric grid.

Next, the Long Island Central Pine Barrens is called Long Island’s largest natural area and last remaining wilderness.

The Brookhaven National Laboratory is located within the Central Long Island Pine Barrens.

The Pine Barrens recharge a federally-designated sole source aquifer for Long Island’s fresh drinking water, which comes from groundwater wells.

Almost all of Long Island’s Peconic and Carmans Rivers, and their watersheds, two of the four major rivers here, are in the Pine Barrens.

Like I said previously with regards to the rivers in the New York – New Jersey Harbor Estuary System, it is my belief that we are looking at what once was a canal system.

The Peconic River drains an area between the Harbor Hill Moraine, flowing into Flanders Bay, and connecting to Peconic Bay, the bay between Long Island’s North and South Forks, east of Riverhead.

It originates in bogs and wetlands in Central Long Island, and is freshwater until it becomes an estuary in Riverhead, a town and township on the northern edge of the Pine Barrens.

It is interesting to note that the former location of Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower was in Shoreham on Long Island, located on the North Shore of Long Island and a short distance north of Brookhaven National Laboratory.

The Wardenclyffe Tower was said to have been built on land next to a railroad line by Tesla between 1901 and 1902 as an early experimental wireless transmission station based on his theories of using the Earth to conduct the signals.

Stanford White, of the architectural firm of McKim, Meade, and White, was said to have designed the original brick building and tower which the Wardenclyffe Tower sat beside.

We are told that the primary financial backer of Tesla’s project was J. P. Morgan until he refused Tesla’s request for more funding to increase the size of the facility and implement his ideas of wireless transmission to compete better with Marconi’s radio-based telegraph system.

By 1906, we are told the project was abandoned because there were no further investors and that by 1917, which would have been during World War I, the tower was demolished for scrap.

The brick building next to it remained standing up until relatively recently, and part of the Tesla Science Center.

A mysterious fire in November of 2023 severely damaged Tesla’s last remaining laboratory.

This fire happened just before the start of a significant renovation and restoration project that was poised to get started for which millions of dollars had been raised.

The towns of Southampton and East Hampton together are what are known as “The Hamptons,” another one of the historical summer colonies of the wealthy elite in our society.

Southampton is on the eastern side of the Long Island Central Pine Barrens, and the Central Pine Barrens Planning Commission is in Westhampton Beach, on the western side of Southampton…

…where you find the Westhampton dunes…

…considered prime land and luxury real estate for those that can afford it…

…and canals, like the Moneybogue Canal, which requires dredging to get rid of the sediment at the bottom of the waterway.

We are told that Southampton was founded in 1640 by a group of ten settlers from Lynn, Massachusetts, who obtained land from the Shinnecock Nation by signing a lease, and the town grew quickly and over the next few years, established an early whaling industry here.

The Algonquin Shinnecock Nation’s reservation is in Southampton, and we are told, among thirteen Indian tribes on Long Island, largely based on kinship.

In 2005, the Shinnecock filed a lawsuit against the State of New York seeking return of 3,500 acres, or 14 km-squared, in Southampton, and billions of dollars for damages, challenging the State Legislature’s approval of an 1859 sale of 3,500 acres of tribal land.

The disputed land included the Shinnecock Hills Golf Course.

In 2006, the court ruled against the Shinnecock Nation, however, finding the lawsuit was barred by laches, or a lack of diligence or activity for making a legal claim or moving forward with legal enforcement of a right.

They did finally receive federal recognition in 2010, after a 30-year effort that included suing the Department of the Interior.

The township of East Hampton is on the eastern end of Long Island’s South Shore.

East Hampton includes the following hamlets: Montauk, Springs, Wainscott, Amagansett, part of Sag Harbor, and jurisdiction over the privately-owned Gardiners Island.

The hamlet of Montauk is on the eastern end of Long Island’s South Fork.

The Montauks, also known as the Montauketts, once resided in large numbers on the eastern end of Long Island.

In 1910, a Judge ruled that the Montauks no longer existed as a tribe and were disenfranchised from their ancestral lands.

More on this in a moment.

The Montauk Point Lighthouse is on Turtle Hill at the easternmost tip of Long Island, and not only was it said to be the first built within the State of New York, it was said to be the first public works project in the new United States because shippers were said to have needed a lighthouse at the end of Long Island to guide them along the south side into New York Harbor.

It is said to be the fourth-oldest active lighthouse in the United States, and also today a privately-run museum.

We are told that construction of the lighthouse was authorized by the Second United States Congress in April of 1792 and that the lighthouse was built between July and November of 1796.

The U. S. Army took over the lighthouse during World War II, and opened Camp Hero, or Montauk Air Force Station, in 1942, adjacent to the lighthouse.

The remnants of Camp Hero are said to be four gun-battery casements, emplacements and concrete fire control towers at the nearby Camp Hero State Park today.

Camp Hero on Montauk Point is alleged to be the location of the Montauk Project, a series of U. S. Government projects with the purpose of developing things like psychological warfare techniques, like MK Ultra, and time-travel research, among others.

We are entering a place on Earth where so-called “Conspiracy Theories” like the Montauk Project abound.

The Conspiracy-Theory Montauk Project was the inspiration for the Netflix show “Stranger Things,” which was originally billed as “Montauk.”

Interesting to note there is a “Pharoah” surname amongst the Montauks.

This is a painting of David Pharaoh of the royal family of the Montauk tribe, depicting sand dunes.

He was born in 1835 and died on July 18th of 1878.

He was buried in the Indian Field Cemetery on the old reservation lands on East Lake Drive in Montauk.

Princess Pocahontas Pharaoh was born on February 15th of 1878, the last Montauk born on the Montauk Reservation at Indian Field on Montauk Point, a year before the reservation was sold.

She was the youngest daughter of King David Pharaoh and Queen Maria Fowler Pharaoh of the Montauk Tribe.

The King of the tribe always came from the Pharaoh family.

Pocahontas Pharaoh was born in the middle of efforts by Arthur Benson and the Long Island Railroad to force the Montauks off their Land.

Benson purchased Montauk in October of 1879 for $151,000 and allowed for the expansion of the Long Island Railroad through it.

In 1897, King Wyandanch Pharaoh, Pocahontas’ brother, went to court to try to get the Montauk land back and fought until 1910, at which time a New York court held that the Montauk Tribe was extinct and stripped the nation of its tribal lands.

Interesting side-note that at least in the Romance languages, the word for lighthouse includes the root sound of “Far”:

In Italian and Spanish, the word for lighthouse is “Faro;” In French, the word for lighthouse is “Phare;” in Portuguese, it is “Farol;” and in Romanian “Far.”

They are spelled and sound like they are related to the word “Pharaoh,” which we are told was the common title for monarchs of ancient Egypt from the First Dynasty, starting in 3,150 BC, up to the annexation of Egypt by the Roman Empire in 30 BC.

Throwing this information into the mix for consideration since both a lighthouse and pharaohs are found on Montauk Point.

The Moors were the custodians of the Ancient Egyptian mysteries, according to George G. M. James in his book “Stolen Legacy.”

Next, Block Island Sound extends from Montauk Point on the eastern tip of Long Island and separates Block Island from the coast of mainland Rhode Island to the east, and contains places like Gardiners Island, Plum Island, Fishers Island, and Block Island.

First, Gardiners Island.

Gardiners Island is a small island located in Gardiners Bay between the North and South Forks of Long Island.

In our historical narrative, the island has been owned by the Gardiner family since 1659, when we are told Lion Gardiner, an English engineer and colonist who founded the first English Settlement in New York here, was said to have purchased it from the Montauk Grand Sachem Wyandanch for “…a large black dog, some powder and shot, and a few Dutch blankets.”

Wyandanch died that same year, and after his death, the title of “Grand Sachem” went into decline and was eliminated by the colonists after they conquered the region of what was known as “New Netherlands” at the time.

What I am able to find in a search is that the title “Sachem” was the title given to a Native American Chief, in particular the chief of a confederation of Algonquin tribes.

“Sagamore” was the title given to a chief or leader of the Algonquins.

This selection from William Wood’s book was of a map showing the plantations along Massachusetts Bay, and the word or name Sagamore is seen in several places.

William Wood’s book from 1639 was entitled: “New Englands Prospect” and called “A true, lively and experimentall description of that part of America commonly called New England; discovering the state of that Countrie, both as it stands to our new-come English Planters; and to the old native inhabitants. Laying down that which might enrich the knowledge of the mind-travelling reader, or benefit the future voyager.”

While not under the jurisdiction of the Colonies of Connecticut or Rhode Island, Gardiners Island did fall under the jurisdiction of William Alexander, the 1st Earl of Stirling, who had been given Long Island by the King Charles I of England in 1636, and who required that Gardiner gain approval of his land grant, which he did in 1639 with a royal patent giving him the right to possess the land forever, and given the title of “Lord of the Manor.”

Gardiners Island is a little over 5-square-miles, or 13.4-kilometers-squared, and has more than 1,000 acres of old growth forest, considered by some to be the largest old-growth forest on the northeast coast of the United States.

Passed down through the Gardiner family for over 380-years, the Gardiner mansion on the island is considered to be the oldest family estate in America.

Next, Plum Island.

Plum Island is an island that is part of Southold in Suffolk County, New York, and located in Gardiners Bay, off the eastern end of Long Island’s North Fork peninsula on the eastern end of Long Island.

Plum Island is owned by the United States government, and access to it controlled by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security.

Next, Plum Island is only 17-miles, or 27-kilometers, south-southeast of Lyme, Connecticut, the place which gave “Lyme Disease” its name.

The origin story of the disease goes like this:

A mysterious ailment afflicted a group of people in and around Lyme, Connecticut, in the 1970s, and that the cause of Lyme Disease was found to be a form of spiral-shaped bacteria transmitted by the bite of a certain kind of tick.

Lyme Disease causes symptoms like a rash, flu-like symptoms, joint-pain and weakness, among others.

Coincidentally…or not…there is a National Disease Center on Plum Island, which was established in 1954 by the United States Department of Agriculture.

The facility maintains laboratories up to biosafety-level 3, which involves microbes which can cause serious and potentially lethal disease by inhalation.

Next, Fishers Island is also a part of Southold, New York, at the eastern end of Long Island, located in close proximity to Connecticut and Rhode Island as well.

Named Munnawtawkit by the Pequot, it was said to have been named “Vischer’s Island” by the explorer Adrian Block in 1614 after one of his companions.

The Pequot Nation is indigenous to Connecticut.

The Pequot Nation was classified extinct by colonial authorities after the Pequot Wars that took place between 1636 and 1638, effectively decimating them as a viable tribe, as survivors were either sold into slavery to colonists in the West Indies or Bermuda, otherwise taken captive, or absorbed into other tribes.

Of 5 Pequot tribes in existence today, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe is the only one that is federally-recognized…

Mohegan-Pequot was an Algonquin-language spoken by the Mohegan, Pequot, and Niantic people of southern New England, and the Montauks and Shinnecock of Long Island.

The last living speaker of Mohegan-Pequot died in 1908.

We are told that historically Mohegan-Pequot did not have a writing system, and that the only significant writings came from European colonizers who interacted with speakers of the language.

I am quite sure that James Fenimore Cooper’s “Last of the Mohicans,” first published in 1826, was an early novel introducing and reinforcing the new historical narrative.

What I found in our narrative about Fisher’s Island is that John Winthrop the Younger, son of the Massachusetts Bay Colony Founder and Governor John Winthrop, which was established in 1630, received a grant of Fisher’s Island in 1640.

The island was privately held by the Winthrop family until 1863, then owned privately by others until 1879, when a joint-commission for Connecticut and New York reiterated that New York had legal title to Fisher’s Island, even though it has closer ties to Connecticut because of its proximity.

Between 1783 and 1909, brick-making was the only industry on the island because of the clay-pits there, and at its peak in the 1880s, the brickyard was believed to be the largest in the country, with a production capacity of 18-million bricks per year.

We are told that horse-drawn railroad cars were used to transport clay produced by hundreds of miners wielding shovels to the brick presses.

Since the 1920s, Fishers Island has been a playground for the social register set that includes the Rockefellers, DuPonts, Whitneys, and Roosevelts, and two-thirds of the island is off-limits to everyone except residents and their guests.

The social centers of Fishers Island are two private, exclusive clubs that rarely allow outsiders in – the Fishers Island Club and the Hay Harbor Club.

The Fishers Island Club is located near the eastern end of Fishers Island, and has an 18-hole golf course, said to have been designed by Seth Raynor and opened in 1926, that was ranked in 2009 as ninth in “Golf Digest” of the top 100 golf courses in the world.

The Hay Harbor Club was established in 1909, and is on the western end of Fishers Island.

Among other things, it has a 9-hole golf course said to have been designed by George Strath and opened in 1898.

Next, a look at Rhode Island’s Block Island.

It is 9-miles, or 14-kilometers, south of the Rhode Island mainland, and 14-miles, or 23-kilometers, east of Long Island’s Montauk Point.

Block Island was named for Adrian Block, a Dutch privateer who was employed by the Dutch East India Company who charted the area in 1614 in our historical narrative.

New Shoreham is the only town on Block Island.

Block Island School is the only school here, teaching students from kindergarten through 12th-grade.

It was said to have been built in 1933 to replace five, one-room schoolhouses, and still use today, with some architectural changes over the years.

Mansion Beach today is a secluded beach on the island’s northeast coast, known for its white sand and big waves.

It was so-named because there was a mansion once here, said to have been designed by Massachusetts architect Edward F. Searles as a dream home for he and his wife, the widow of San Francisco Central Pacific Railroad magnate Mark Hopkins and constructed between 1886 and 1888.

Searles’ wife, Mary Hopkins Searles, was often referred to as the richest woman in America, and shortly after they married, she bequeathed him her entire fortune.

Searles was one of those architects credited with the design of other monumental architecture, including, but not limited to, the interior design for the Kellogg Terrace, known today as Searles Castle, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, said to be one of America’s great masterpieces of gothic and Neo-Renaissance architecture built in 1883 by Stanford White of the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White.

It sure looks to me like Searles Castle sits atop a star fort base, compared with Fort Loreto, a star fort in Puebla, Mexico, on the right.

Searles was credited with the design of the giant nave at Searles Castle which still houses one of the largest pipe organs built in a residence in the United States.

At any rate, after having been abandoned for years, the Searles Mansion back on Block Island burned down in the 1960s, and was never rebuilt.

Block Island has thirteen distinct beaches.

This rocky beach is a clothing optional beach below the Mohegna Bluffs, which has a sheared-off-looking quality to it.

The huge rocks found here also look megalithic, like they were shaped and cut.

The next place we come to is Newport, Rhode Island.

Newport is a seaside city in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay, located 33-miles, or 53-kilometers, southeast of Providence.

The Narragansetts are an Algonquin-speaking people indigenous to what became the State of Rhode Island.

Here is an historic photo of the Narragansett.

Their language died out in the 19th-century, though the they have been trying to revive it using written source material.

Across the Narragansett Bay from Newport, in the town of Narragansett, we find a stone masonry building called the Towers, said to have been built between 1883 and 1886 by the ubiquitous architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White as part of a Victorian-era casino and social-elite resort facility.

Also known as the “Twin Towers,” it is all that remains after a history of disasters, including fires and hurricanes.

In our historical narrative, Newport was first incorporated as a town in 1639 by a group of nine founding English colonists, after the Colony of Rhode Island had been established in 1636 by Roger Williams, and only six-years after the Massachusetts Bay Colony was established in 1630.

Newport is known for its “Gilded Age Mansions.”

Many members of New York City’s list of “Four Hundred” elite families had massive cottage estates in Newport.

LIke the summer cottage estate known as “The Breakers” that was said to have been built between 1893 and 1895 for Cornelius Vanderbilt II.

It was said to have been patterned after a Renaissance Palace, and built with marble imported from Italy and Africa, as well as rare wood and mosaics from countries around the world.

The “Marble House” was another Vanderbilt family summer cottage in Newport.

It was said to have been built between 1888 and 1892 for Alva and William K. Vanderbilt.

And “Beechwood,” which was said to have been built in 1851, and became the summer cottage estate in 1880 of Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, who had a massive ballroom built in it to accommodate her society events. and it became the epicenter of Newport High Society.

Next, we come to the Elizabeth Islands, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket Island off the coast of Massachusetts.

The Elizabeth Islands are a small chain of islands off the southern coast of Cape Cod, on the southern edge of Buzzard Bay, and is separated from Martha’s Vineyard by Vineyard Sound.

All of the Elizabeth Islands, with the exception of Cuttyhunk and Penikese, are privately-owned by the Forbes family, a wealthy American family of Scottish descent long prominent in Boston.

The family’s original fortune came largely from trading opium and tea between North America and China in the 19th-century.

Forbes family members include businessman John Murray Forbes, among other things a railroad magnate and President of the Michigan Central Railroad, and the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad in the 1850s; and John Forbes Kerry, present-day politician, and the Secretary of State in President Obama’s second administration.

Like we saw with the Astor family, along with other well-known moneyed families, the Boston Forbes family’s original fortune came in large part from trading opium (and tea) between North America and China in the 19th-century.

This information about opium-trading is on the Forbes’ website, so they do not even try to hide this information from us.

The Forbes family were part of the “Boston Brahmins,” the historic upper elite class of Boston, Massachusetts, widely considered America’s closest equivalent to an aristocracy.

The “Brahmins” dominated New England’s intellectual, cultural and financial institutions from the late-19th- to the mid-20th-centuries, and were instrumental in founding and running major American educational institutions like Harvard University and M.I.T.

Their recognizable surnames included, besides the Forbes family, the Cabots, Lowells, Lodges, Adamses, and Peabodys.

The term “Boston Brahmins” was coined by Oliver Wendall Holmes in an 1860 article in the “Atlantic Monthly,” after he likened Boston’s prestigious, old-money elite to the highest-ranking Brahmin class in Hindu society.

The “Atlantic Monthly” was established in Boston in 1857 as a literary and cultural commentary magazine by a collective of distinguished writers including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and first editor James Russell Lowell.

Next, Martha’s Vineyard, an island located south of Cape Cod and the Elizabeth Islands, is a popular summer colony for the wealthy.

Martha’s Vineyard, along with the adjacent Chappaquiddick Island, another small island off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard called “Noman’s Land,” and the Elizabeth Islands together comprise Massachusetts’ Dukes County.

First, a little bit about Martha’s Vineyard.

Martha’s Vineyard, as of the 2010 Census, had a year-round population of approximately 17,500 people, and in the summer months the population grows to somewhere around 100,000.

In a study by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, the Cost-of-Living on the island was found to be 60% higher than the national average, and the cost of housing 96% higher.

Vineyard Haven was named the #1 most expensive town in the United States by Lending Tree in 2021.

When the European colonizers arrived, the island was inhabited by the Wampanoag, the Algonquin indigenous people of eastern Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.

There is something interesting to note about the Algonquin language.

It is extremely hard to find this kind of information because of the hunter-gatherer theme going on with indigenous peoples of North America in the narrative, but I found an example in the written language script of the Algonquin Mikmaq people of Nova Scotia, and it is that of an apparent connection to the Egyptian language script.

The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, or Aquinnah, on Martha’s Vineyard is one of only two federally-recognized Wampanoag Tribes, the other one being the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, headquartered in Mashpee on Cape Cod.

The Wampanoag on Martha’s Vineyard are headquartered in Aquinnah on the southwest tip of Martha’s Vineyard, part of the lands where they have lived for thousands of years which were dispossessed by English settlers encroaching on their lands.

Aquinnah, which was incorporated as a town named Gay Head, between 1870 and 1997, is the location of the Aquinnah Cliffs.

The Aquinnah Cliffs, with streams of red and orange clay mixed with sand, were said to have been formed by glaciers millions of years ago.

These cliffs have that same, sheared-off-looking quality to them like other places we have already seen through here.

The Gay Head Lighthouse located here was featured in the 1975 movie “Jaws.”

There is an interesting, and lengthy back-story to the Gay Head Lighthouse.

But long story short, at one time there were more buildings here.

Now there is only one, which looks like there is possibly more to it under the ground.

Also interesting to note that I found this article talking about there being a deaf community on Martha’s Vineyard from its earliest settlement through the 19th-century.

It would appear from the article that the deaf people here attracted a lot of interest and questions.

More thoughts on this to come.

Chappaquiddick Island is a small peninsula that occasionally becomes an island, and part of the town of Edgartown, on the eastern end of Martha’s Vineyard.

Well, if you ever wondered where the Chappaquiddick of the infamous incident involving Ted Kennedy and an overturned vehicle containing the body of a woman back in July of 1969, it was right here.

The small island called “Nomans Land” is located three-miles, or 5-kilometers, off the southwest coast of Martha’s Vineyard and was used as a practice bombing range by the United States Navy between 1943 and 1996.

The island of Nantucket is 30-miles, or 50-kilometers, south of Cape Cod, and together with the islands of Tuckernuck and Muskeget, constitutes the Town and County of Nantucket of Massachusetts, and like Martha’s Vineyard, a summer colony for the wealthy.

The name Nantucket was said to have been adapted from a similar-sounding Algonquin name for the island of the indigenous Wampanoag people.

The National Park Service cites Nantucket as being the finest example of a late 18th- and early 19th-century New England Seaport town, and was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1966.

Nantucket Island was perhaps best-known for the historical importance of its whaling industry, particularly during the 18th- up to the mid-19th-centuries.

The Great Fire of 1846 devastated the downtown business hub of Nantucket, starting in a hat store and completely destroying more than one-third of the heart of the community and economy, and leaving many homeless, in poverty, and causing them to leave the island.

Great fires (and floods for that matter) destroying the central business districts of cities and towns around the world were quite common in our historical narrative, seemingly as a way to either destroy the original infrastructure, and/or take credit for the building of it afterwards, and as well as to deliberately cause disruption and displacement.

Next, we come to Cape Cod and the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barren (SEMBP) Association, which is headquartered at The Center at Center Hill Preserve in Plymouth.

The SEMBP is on land that extends from Duxbury to Provincetown along the Cape Cod Bay shoreline, covering Cape Cod, the Elizabeth Islands, Nantucket Island and Martha’s Vineyard, and inland includes Southeastern Massachusetts, including Plymouth and surrounding communities.

It so happens that this is the same Plymouth that was the location of the Plymouth Colony, the Pilgrim settlement founded in 1620 in our historical narrative by the Pilgrims after they journeyed from England to the New World on the Mayflower, seeking religious freedom, as we are taught and celebrate every year in the United States at Thanksgiving.

This is the Plymouth Rock Monument in Plymouth.

The current classical monument housing it was said again to have been designed in 1921 by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White of the elitist Century Association in New York City.

The Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown, Massachusetts, is on the northern end of Cape Cod.

It was said to have been the winning design submitted by Boston architect Willard T. Sears in a contest, and built between 1907 and 1910 to commemorate the first landfall of the Pilgrims in 1620 and the signing of the Mayflower Compact in Provincetown Harbor.

The Pilgrim Monument is a bell-tower, and the tallest, all-granite structure in the United States, and said to have been modelled after the Torre del Mangia in Siena, Italy, which is said to have been designed in 1309.

It is 252-feet, 7.5-inches, or 77-meters, tall.

Granite is described as a “sonorous” rock, meaning that it will make a sound if you strike it, and in the case of granite, it will make a bell-like sound.

Now I am going to talk about the location of the Pine Barrens in New Jersey, Central Long Island, and Coastal Massachusetts.

There is a linear relationship between these three Pine Barren ecosystems.

The Pine Barrens have nutrient-poor, sandy and acidic soil, characterized by bogs.

Here is the linear relationship on Google Earth when I searched for the Pine Barrens in New Jersey; the Central Long Island Pine Barrens; and the Coastal Massachusetts Pine Barrens, also known as the Plymouth Pinelands- the pins are placed where that search term for each popped-up, and each place I have mentioned in this post – near Ong in New Jersey; Westhampton Beach on Long Island; and Plymouth in Massachusetts.

I believe this Pine Barren alignment was ground-zero for the cataclysmic event that destroyed the surface of the Earth, and that this event took place relatively recently.

I believe that the landscape we see today here in the northeast United States, and all over the world, was born out of the trauma and changes to the earth’s surface as it buckled and ruptured, and gave way amidst thunderous sound and gigantic force as a result of the deliberate destruction of the original free energy grid that was for the benefit of all life everywhere, and subsequently transformed by those ushering in the “New World Order” into what we know as the Matrix for the benefit of the very few behind the reset of the original earth’s history, which I believe started sometime in the mid-to-late 1700s.

So I am going to present a theory for your consideration as to what might have caused this cataclysm of the Earth’s surface along the Earth’s Grid System in order to bring about the “New World Order.”

Prior to this deliberately-caused cataclysmic event, all of the infrastructure on the Earth was a perfectly-tuned and resonant scientific and musical instrument.

Everything worked together in harmony and balance to produce free-energy and abundance for all life everywhere – all the cathedrals, rail-lines, bridges, star forts, lighthouses, organs, bell-towers, and much, much more.

I believe that the circuit board of the Earth’s original free-energy grid system was deliberately blown-0ut, and because of my findings here in this part of the world, I believe directed frequency could have been used, and I am going to present a scenario for your consideration based on my research over the years as to how this could have happened.

Here’s how what I have learned about the Philadelphia Experiment and what I am calling the “Philadelphia Experiment Ley-line” could have caused the cataclysmic event that destroyed Circuit Board Earth and in the process, brought great change and upheaval to the surface of the Earth.

With regards to the elite enclaves seen throughout this post,  I believe the high-society elites prized and coveted most the destroyed places that were of high importance in the original civilization, either because of who lived there or what was there.

I am going to start first with the Philadelphia Experiment.

I have postulated for quite some time that a rip in the fabric of space-time caused by the Philadelphia Experiment allowed great evil in the form of parasitic non-human beings to incarnate in human form on the Earth, and subsequently created the conditions for the world we are living in today.  

Humanity has been at the mercy of a parasitic consciousness that has rigged the system to provide the non-stop flow of wealth for them and to keep us stuck in the negative energy of our lowest states of consciousness of fear and suffering that they need to survive.

Now, I’m going to take a look at the Philadelphia Experiment itself and see what we are told about that.

I mentioned previously in this post that Ong in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, geographically close to Philadelphia, is reputed to be an interdimensional gateway.

The strange Philadelphia Experiment was alleged to have taken place at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in the middle of World War II, the deadliest conflict in human history which started on September 1st in 1939, and ended on September 2nd in 1945 – exactly six years later. 

When I originally looked for information on the Philadelphia Experiment several years ago, the date I first encountered for it was the date of July 22nd of 1942.

The Philadelphia Experiment involved the USS Eldridge, a naval destroyer escort for merchant ships.

The ship’s generators were turned on in view of other merchant ships that were in the Navy Yard.

As the fields created by the generators built-up, a green haze formed around the ship.

When the green haze disappeared, so did the ship, rendered invisible to both radar and the naked eye.

It returned to view after 15-minutes.

Did the USS Eldridge just become invisible? 

Or did it go somewhere else? 

And if it went somewhere else, where might it have gone?

What was the real purpose of the Philadelphia Experiment?

What if the USS Eldridge travelled in time?

I first learned of the work of author and publisher, Peter Moon sometime around 2014.

I started reading some of the books he published because I was looking for information about the Moors, and was having a hard time finding it.

Peter has been involved in a lot of work on the Moors, the Philadelphia Experiment, Montauk Project, and time travel research. 

Peter also has a lot to say about Aleister Crowley in his books, and the dark, occulted nature of the timeline that we have been living on. 

In one of his books,“Synchronicity and the Seventh Seal,” Peter mentioned that he had a correspondence with Crowley’s son Amado, and that Amado related to him that on the day of the Philadelphia Experiment, which he gave as August 12th of 1943, Crowley had passed him as a child through the circular megalith at Men-an-Tol in Morvah, Cornwall, and that when he did this, it caused a line of rough energy to cross the ocean. 

This passage in the book also goes onto say further that while Crowley’s organization, known as the Ordo Templi Orientis, or OTO, an occult, fraternal and magical secret society, disputed this, others had no problems with his claim, and reported that during an eclipse ceremony on August 11th in 1998 at Men-an-Tol…

…an eclipse shadow line ran from Cairo, Egypt, to Montauk, Long Island, straight through Men-an-Tol.

Whatever date it took place on, both July 22nd and August 12th have annual significance in ancient cosmology.

Each year August 12th is the last day of the Lion’s Gate Portal, which begins on July 28th every year, and opens on 8/8…

…and each year, July 22nd coincides with the heliacal rising of Sirius before the sun.

Interesting to note that the Lion’s Gate Portal is symbolized by the Figure 8, which is also the infinity symbol, and it peaks on 8/8 every year.

Like I mentioned earlier in this post, I have postulated for several years that the years 1492 and 1942 are the boundary years of a new timeline called Rome.

There are 450-years between 1492 and 1942 that can be divided evenly into nine, 50-year-periods, and at the beginnings of each these 50-year-periods, much was happening in our historical narrative.

With 225-years on either side, 1717 is the midpoint year.

I believe a new 3D Time loop was created that somehow mirrors or involves the Figure 8, upon which a new history was superimposed on to the existing infrastructure on the Earth, and falsely attributed in the new historical narrative as we have seen in the elite enclaves through this post.

The mid-point year of 1717 was the year that the Premier Grand Lodge of England was founded in London, on June 24th, 1717.

It was the first western Freemason Grand Lodge.

The same lodge adopted the Anno Lucis that same year, in 1717, as the Masonic calendar.

The Anno Lucis Calendar adds 4,000-years to the Gregorian calendar.

It is my understanding that only those initiated into the highest degree of western Freemasonry know directly about the Moors.

And it is no secret within Modern Freemasonry that it is “speculative,” meaning based on conjecture rather than knowledge, as opposed to “operative,” meaning those who actually worked with stone.

The New World’s Controllers stole the identity and legacy of the operative masons, representing Humanity at its highest-level of consciousness, and took us from the “Moorish Divine Movement of the World,” from Antiquity, with the eye on top of the pyramid signifying our pineal gland and our connection to the Creator, to it symbolizing “Big Brother,” and the control of the 13 Bloodline families.

At any rate, with regards to the alleged Aleister Crowley connection with the Philadelphia Experiment, I extended the Pine Barrens alignment that I found connecting the three pine barrens of New Jersey, Central Long Island, and Coastal Massachusetts.

Going in the northeast direction, the alignment connected to Morvah in Cornwall, the location of Men-an-Tol, and going in a southwest direction, I took it as far the bayous in Louisiana.

Along with at least one abandoned train found out in the middle of nowhere in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, there is at least one abandoned train in a bayou in Ascension Parish.

It is my belief that Aleister Crowley, known openly as the “Wickedest Man in the World,” was directly responsible for bringing us to “Crazy Town,” and brought in the parasitic entities that wouldn’t otherwise be here responsible for the world we live in today in the form of the wealthiest families that live in these elite enclaves.

I am sure that some of you will be aware of who this person is, but I would surmise that this name would be unfamiliar to most people.

Crowley was also known as “the Beast.”

He was highly involved in Freemasonry, and in ceremonial magical practices, including sex magic, and he was known to have been bisexual. 

He also assumed the title of Baphomet within the OTO, originally founded in the early-20th-Century by German Occultists, and modelled after Freemasonry. 

Crowley described the Baphomet as a divine Androgyne, and the “Hieroglyph of Divine Perfection.” 

I believe this information is quite relevant to the bizarre gender agendas we see playing out in the world today. 

The image on the left popped up when I searched for “they want to turn us into them,” instead of us being in the image of God on the right.

There are several more points I would like to bring up with regards to the Crowley connection and the role of the Philadelphia Experiment in bringing us to the world we live in today being a real possibility, and not science fiction.

I had already collected a lot of puzzle pieces relating to what has taken place here with regards to the original civilization, what happened to it, who was involved in the reset of Earth’s history, and much of the how it was done.

But until I started looking into the sound elements, I did not have a conceptualization about how the time-space altering event of the Philadelphia Experiment could have also caused the destruction of the Earth’s surface, an event which I believe caused the sinking of the advanced civilization of Atlantis only hundreds of years ago at the most, not thousands of years ago as we have been taught.

As I mentioned previously, all three of the Pine Barren ecosystems of Coastal Massachusetts, Central Long Island, and New Jersey are on this alignment, as seen on the top left.

Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod where the Pilgrim Monument is located, is also on this same alignment and all of Cape Cod, as well as the Elizabeth Islands, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket, is part of the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance, on the right.

As I mentioned previously, the Pilgrim Monument is a bell-tower that is the tallest granite structure in the United States, and granite rings with a bell-like sound when it is struck.

If Crowley’s ritual ceremony at Men-an-Tol, whenever it took place, did in fact send a line of rough energy to cross the ocean towards Long Island, as claimed by his son Amado to Peter Moon as mentioned previously, it would have crossed through or near the Pilgrim Monument, with the energy thereby striking it, either directly or indirectly.

It is also very interesting to note that Provincetown is one of the most LGTBQ-inclusive places in the country, and has been for a long time.

As early as 1900, when an artists’ colony and experimental theater developed there, including drag shows in the 1940s.

In the process of doing this research, I learned about resonance and forced resonance.

Resonance occurs in oscillating systems when an external force with the same natural frequency causes a rise in amplitude, which results in a net rise of mechanical energy.

Resonance can occur in various systems, whether acoustical, electrical, or mechanical systems, and is desirable in their applications.

Resonance can also be detrimental, however, when it leads to excessive vibrations and structural failure.

Now what I think could have happened is that the rough line of energy caused by Crowley’s ritual ceremony on Cornwall either struck this bell-tower, or another bell-tower along the way that is underwater now, which caused a forced resonant frequency to go throughout the Earth’s entire grid system, either all at the same time, or in waves, like the aftershocks of earthquakes, and caused it to go haywire, leading to the destruction of the entire system and dramatically changing the face of the Earth.

I also consider the possibility that the manipulation of time-and-space involved in the Philadelphia Experiment could have also carried this forced resonant frequency back in time to create the cataclysmic event as opposed to something that happened in real-time.

Let’s use the example of Cape Cod to illustrate the presence of railroad lines and lighthouses, for example, right next to water.

Here is the map showing fourteen lighthouses on Cape Cod alone, as well as other lighthouses of this part of New England, on the left, as well as the historic Old Colony Railroad that traversed the length of Cape Cod.

While we have always been given the explanation that lighthouses were constructed to guide ships through rocky shoals and dangerous waters, and railroads were built around the same time period in the 19th-century, what I am seeing is that these were places that were in perfect resonance and that forced resonance throughout the grid system caused the system to go haywire, and the surrounding land sank, or turned into like swamps, bogs, barrens, or deserts and dunes.

There are several more points I would like to make with regards to the Crowley connection and the role of the Philadelphia Experiment in bringing us to the world we live in today being a real possibility.

One is about the deaf community on Martha’s Vineyard that was being studied in the 19th-century, which would have been very near the bell-tower in Providence.

They want us to believe it was from internal causes, but what if the cause of the deafness was from an external source, like an eardrum-shattering sound resulting from a forced resonant frequency going through a massive, previously-resonant system?

People who were deaf or deaf-mutes was a huge issue in the 19th-century that historical figures like Alexander Graham Bell were famous for working with.

For one example, Bell was known for training instructors of deaf-mute students.

He travelled to Boston in 1871 to teach instructors at the Boston School for Deaf-Mutes his “Visible Speech System.”

The oldest public day school for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, it later became known as the Horace Mann School for the Deaf.

Another point that I would like to make is that because Earth is a Free Will Zone, the Human Beings who live here have to give their consent to choose whether the follow the Light or the Dark, and they have to tell us what they are doing.

They can’t just come in and do whatever they want to, even though it might seem like that is what they have been doing.

One way they gain our consent is through literature, art, music, and things like predictive programming and soft disclosure in movies and television programs, and accomplish this by not telling us they are telling us.

If we don’t get it and object collectively, then they technicially have our tacit consent even if we don’t know we are being told something, and that is what they are counting on.

Predictive programming is defined as storylines, or even subtle images, that in retrospect seem to hint at events that actually end up happening in the real world.

Soft disclosure is defined as a gradual, understated release of controversial or secretive information to the public, like “Stranger Things.”

Does soft disclosure also relate to the 1980 movie “The Final Countdown,” in which a time-travelling naval vessel in the form of the USS Nimitz goes back in time to the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th of 1941.

Did the subject matter come solely from someone’s fertile imagination, or are they disclosing something that has been hidden from us?

The other way they get our consent is by outright lies, deception and duplicity because if people knew the true agenda of these controllers, the majority of Humanity would never, ever accept what they are doing to us.

We are inherently sovereign beings.

They have gone to all of this trouble because, by Universal Law, they can’t lay a finger on us.

They have tricked us into accepting their sovereignty over our own.

How was this accomplished?

There were numerous ways, but one is private clubs like the Century Association mentioned previously in New York City, and/or other hand-picked elite groups of people who could meet secretly and make their plans for bringing the New World Order into existence.

Ever hear the George Carlin quote “It’s one big club, and you ain’t in it?” and wonder where that idea might have come from?

The self-appointed elites have continued doing the same thing to this day in their secretive meetings to plan their agendas for what they want the future to look like for Humanity and the World, and what they wanted doesn’t look good for us!

A small number of related, elitist family bloodlines, hidden in different nationalities and religions to carry out their plans for world domination, brought into existence a New World built upon the ruins of the Old World, and have stolen the legacy and identity of the original people and the true builders of all of the original infrastructure of the Earth; claimed their legacy as their own while at the same time, robbing us blind of resources, wealth, and energy without us knowing anything about it because they educated us in a new history with them written in to it, and at the same time removed everything about the Old World from our collective awareness.

North America’s Great Lakes – Part 8 Lake Erie from West Cleveland, Ohio to Toledo, Ohio

In this part of the series, I will continue westward along the Lake Erie shoreline from West Cleveland, Ohio to Toledo, Ohio.

So far I have looked in-depth at cities and places on the shores of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and Lake Ontario, and Lake Erie.

I have paid particular attention to lighthouses; railroad and streetcar history; waterfalls, wetlands and dunes; interstates and highways; golf courses, airports and race tracks; major corporate players; mines and mining; labor relations; and many other things.

As a way of focusing my research, I am specifically following the location of lighthouses and waterfalls around Lake Erie as a way of focusing my research, as I have been doing througout this series.

This particular focus has yielded a great deal of information as to what it looks like happened here and about our hidden history.

I will continue to show you exactly why I think the Great Lakes were formed from tremendous amounts of water from the outflow of the waterfalls and the interconnected hydrological system when the original energy grid was destroyed.

I believe the destruction of this energy grid was a worldwide event, and that the surface of the Earth was subsequently destroyed around its key infrastructure, which besides waterfalls, included components like lighthouses, rail infrastructure, canals, and what we know of as “forts,” and turned the landscape we see today into lakes, dunes, deserts, swamps, bogs, or causing the land to shear off and/or become submerged.

In “North America’s Great Lakes – Part 7 Buffalo, New York to Downtown Cleveland,” I left off at the Ohio and Erie Canal Reservation along the historic Ohio and Erie Canal between Harvard Avenue in Cleveland and Rockside Road in Valley View.

In this part of the series, I am going to pick-up this journey around Lake Erie in West Cleveland and what is found in the vicinity of, and in relationship to, the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, one of three airports in the Greater Cleveland-area.

I am interested in highlighting the racing tracks in a linear relationship to the airports; nearby golf courses like the Big Met Golf Course and Westwood Country Club; the suburb of Olmsted Falls to the southwest of the airport; and the Columbia Beach Falls that cascade directly into Lake Erie to the northwest of the airport.

First, the relationship between the airports and racing tracks.

I am seeing there are airports all over the world having racing tracks in angular relationships short distances away in years of doing this research.

And I keep finding more everywhere I look

I included these findings, and others, in my post “Circuit Board Earth” from June of 2021 which demonstrate the repeating patterns found with respect to the intentional placement of infrastructure all over the Earth.

I believe absolutely everything was arranged as a circuit board for the once, free-energy-generating electromagnetic grid system of the ancient, advanced civilization that I believe existed up until relatively recent times, until it was deliberately destroyed by a cataclysm that I believe resulted from a targeted attack on this same energy grid.

Cleveland, and in this series on the Great Lakes in particular, is no exception to these findings, as I am going to show you exactly the same thing here.

First, the Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport in West Cleveland is the primary airport serving Greater Cleveland and northeast Ohio, as well as the largest and busiest airport in Ohio.

In our historical narrative, it was founded on July 1st of 1925, and was said to be the location of a number of firsts that set the worldwide standard.

It was the location of: 1) the first municipality-owned facility of its kind in the United States; 2) the first Air Traffic Control tower in 1929; 3) the first airfield lighting system in 1930; 4) the first ground-to-air radio control system in 1939; and 5) the first airport to be connected to a local or regional rail transit system in 1968.

The Glenn Research Center is directly adjacent to the Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport.

Initially named the Aircraft Engine Research Facility when it was established in 1942 as a laboratory for aircraft engine research, it was renamed for NASA astronaut and Ohio-native-son John Glenn in 1999.

As one of the ten major field centers of NASA, The Glenn Research Center has as its primary mission the development of science and technology for use in aeronautics and space.

In the last part of the series, I talked about the Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport, also called the Downtown Airport, located directly on Lake Erie.

It is a general aviation airport just north of Cleveland’s Central Business District close to major attractions and hotels in the city.

Interestingly, it is also known as the “Landfill Airport” for the given reason that during the Great Depression in the 1930s, the land it is situated on was used as a dumping site for the city’s waste.

Then we are told after it opened in 1947, the airport’s runways were expanded using dredged material from the Cuyahoga River to create solid land for the runways.

Huntington Bank Field is adjacent to the Downtown Airport.

Huntington Bank Field is currently the home stadium of the National Football League’s Cleveland Browns, as well as serving as a large event venue for the community like other sporting events and concerts.

It also sits on the old landfill and dump site.

The stadium is next to the former Union Depot site and current Cleveland Train Station for Amtrak passenger service, and Lighthouse Park as well.

All of this is consistent with the same kinds of relationships between these types of infrastructure that I have found in other locations.

The Akron-Canton Airport, which is located approximately 45-miles, or 72-kilometers, to the southeast of the Cleveland-Hopkins Airport.

While it is a commercial airport, it is considered a small-hub primary commercial service facility with a regional commercial carrier, though it is primarily general aviation and small private aircraft.

In the general vicinity alone of these three airports, there are nine racing tracks.

The velodrome is a bicycle racing track; the Jack Thistledown Racino is a thoroughbred horse-racing track and casino; Boss Pro Karting right next to the Cleveland Hopkins airport is a high-speed indoor electric go-kart facility; the Nelson Ledges Race Course is a paved course for car- and motorcycle-racing; High Voltage Indoor Karting is also a high-speed electric go-kart facility; the Reagan Park RC Race Track is for remote-control car racing; Good’s Raceway offers a semi-banked clay oval track for dirt-racing; Quaker City Motorsports has a drag-strip and go-kart facilities; and the Wayne County Speedway is high-speed car racing venue.

I’ll have more on this kind of thing as we go around Lake Erie.

The next place I am going to mention is the Rocky River Reservation, which is located in-between the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and the City of Olmsted Falls.

The Rocky River Reservation is in the Cleveland Metroparks system.

We are told the character of the reservation is influenced by Rocky River, with massive shale cliffs of a picturesque gorge rising above willow, sycamore and cottonwood trees, with many trails winding through the valley’s deep floodplain forests, meadows and wetlands.

In addition to wildlife viewing, fishing, and numerous other kinds of recreational activities, the reservation has three golf courses.

There is also one main, named waterfall here on the Rocky River, the Berea Falls.

The Berea Falls consist of two main drops and some smaller drops that add up to 25-feet, or 8-meters.

I always look for railroads and railroad history in connection with gorges, rivers and waterfalls because I believe they were all part of the Earth’s original energy grid, and because I alway find them, and the Rocky River Reservation is no exception to this.

What we are told is that the Rocky River Valley was heavily shaped by railroads in the 1800s and early 1900s.

Several railroad lines crossed the Rocky River near Berea, which is inside the reservation, and that as early as the mid-1800s railroads built stone arch bridges over the Rocky River Gorge.

While some of these bridges are abandoned, some are still in use today, like the one seen here above Berea Falls.

As a matter of fact, there are altogether three old stone bridges right next to each other above Berea Falls.

The nearby city of Berea was famous for sandstone quarries, for which railroads were an essential part of that industry, where quarry rail-lines connected the stone quarries to major rail-lines.

We are told some of those industrial rail spurs followed parts of the Rocky River.

Just for the record, I believe the stone quarries of this era were harvesting megalithic stone blocks from the original infrastructure of the ancient, highly advanced worldwide civilization that is missing from our collective awareness.

We are told the Rocky River Railroad Company was incorporated in 1868 as a 6-mile, or 10-kilometer, “dummy line” connecting West Cleveland to the Rocky River to support the new Rocky River Park in the summer months.

It featured specialized steam locomotives designed for shorter routes, using under-boiler water tanks.

It ran between 1869 and 1881, and we are told it was sold-off due to lack of business in the winter months to the Nickel Plate Road Railway.

Also known as the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad, the Nickel Plate Road Railway was said to have been constructed along the south shore of the Great Lakes in 1881 to connect Buffalo and Chicago in competition with the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway.

In 1964, the Nickel Plate Road was one of several railroads that were merged into the Norfolk and Western Railway, a heavy-duty freight railroad .

Then in 1982, the Norfolk and Western Railway was combined with the Southern Railway to form the Norfolk Southern freight railroad.

Also, the Cleveland, Southwestern and Columbus Railway (CS&C) was the primary interurban line connecting Berea to downtown Cleveland.

It was a horse-drawn service from around 1870 to the 1890s, at which time it was electrified, and offered passenger and freight service until it was abandoned in 1931.

Besides connecting Cleveland and Berea, the line ran to Medina, Wooster, and Columbus.

The Cleveland, Southwestern and Columbus interurban railway serviced popular leisure spots like the Puritas Springs Park.

We are told the Puritas Springs Park was the first amusement park on the west-side of Cleveland, and that it was developed by the Cleveland, Berea, Elyria, & Oberlin Railway after it purchased land in the area and began to bottle and sell water from the local springs.

It was located on a deep ravine overlooking the Rocky River Valley, and had things like a carousel, the largest roller coaster in Cleveland, and daily shows featuring exotic animals.

The park closed in 1958, and the land was turned into a residential development.

Another historic amusement was in Chippewa Lake, a town in Ohio at the southwest end of a streetcar-line that came from Cleveland, just past Medina.

It operated for 100-years, from 1878 to 1978, after which time it was abandoned, with many of the original rides left to deteriorate in place.

The Chippewa Park Dance Hall burned-down in June of 2002.

The City of Olmsted Falls is on the other side of the Rocky River Reservation from the Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport.

The area that became Olmsted Township, including Olmsted Falls, was created from the Connecticut Western Reserve, a strip of land in what became northeastern Ohio that was claimed by the Colony of, then State of, Connecticut as part of its Charter from King Charles II in April of 1662 in our historical narrative.

In 1795, the State of Connecticut sold most of that land to the Connecticut Land Company, a land speculation company that formed in the late 18th-century to survey and encourage settlement in the“Connecticut Western Reserve” which was part of the highly-prized “Northwest Territory.”

The Connecticut Land Company purchased 3-million-acres, or 12,000-kilometers-squared, of the western reserve in Northeast Ohio, in 1795, and settlers demanded that the land be surveyed prior to settlement per the Land Ordinance of 1785, in which was a standardized system by which settlers could purchase title to farmland in the West.

The Connecticut Land Company divided the land into townships and sold it by auction, and “Township 6, Range 15” went to several bidders, one of which was Aaron Olmsted, a sea captain from East Hartford, Connecticut, who received almost half of the township

This would have taken place after the 1795 Greenville Treaty that forced the displacement of Native Americans from most of Ohio, and the land was opened for settlement.

In our historical narrative, the 1795 Treaty of Greenville ended the Northwest Indian War that took place in this region between 1786 and 1795 between the United States and the Northwestern Confederacy, consisting of Native Americans of the Great Lakes area.

The Territory had been granted to the United States by Great Britain as part of the 1783 Treaty of Paris at the end of the Revolutionary War.

The area had previously been prohibited to new settlements, and was inhabited by numerous Native American peoples.

The British maintained a military presence and supported the Native American military campaign.

While the Northwestern Confederacy had some early victories, they were ultimately defeated, with the final battle being the “Battle of Fallen Timbers” in August of 1794 in Maumee, Ohio, which took place after General Anthony Wayne’s Army had destroyed every Native American settlement on its way to the battle.

Outcomes were the 1794 Jay Treaty, named for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay, the main negotiator with Great Britain.

As a result, we are told the British withdrew from the Northwest Territory, but it laid the groundwork for later conflicts, like the War of 1812, because it didn’t resolve core issues of things like the British impressment of American sailors and protecting American shipping from British seizures, keeping trade tensions high.

Olmsted Falls was first incorporated as a village from a portion of Olmsted Township in April of 1856, and in 1972, it was recognized as a city by the State of Ohio, because its population was greater than 5,000.

Two railroads still run through Olmsted Falls – CSX runs freight from the northeast to the southwest through the southeastern corner of the city, and Norfolk Southern runs east-west through the city.

We are told that the arrival of the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad running through the center of Olmsted Falls in the 1850s spurred its growth and development.

The Grand Pacific Junction Historic District is part of the main business district of the city, and contains places like the Olmsted Falls Depot and Model Railroad Museum which is next to the train tracks.

The depot was said to have been built in 1877 by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad as a freight and passenger station, and then used by various owners, starting with the New York Central, Penn Central, and Conrail.

Passenger service ended in 1950, and the building was used for another 15-years as a railroad storage and maintenance facility.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 and these days is a model train museum.

The actual waterfalls in Olmsted Falls are located on Plum Creek in the downtown historic area of the city.

The falls are located near Columbia Road and Bagley Road near the Grand Pacific Junction Historic District.

Interesting to see the old stonemasonry walls in conjunction with the waterfalls.

I believe that waterfalls were an integral part of the original energy grid as well.

Next, there are three golf courses in-between the city of Olmsted Falls and the Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport, and the Columbia Beach Falls on the shore of Lake Erie – the Big Met Golf Course; Mastick Woods Golf Course; and the Westwood Country Club.

The Big Met Golf Course is a public course that is part of Cleveland Metroparks in the Rocky River Reservation, and believed to be Ohio’s most played golf course.

It was originally called “Course #1,” and first opened in 1926, and was said to have come about during the “Golden Era of Golf” in the early 1920s when a golf course in the Rocky River Valley was proposed to the Cleveland Metropolitan Park Board.

When the “Big Met” golf course first opened, golfers travelled there by streetcar, foot, and horseback.

The nearby Mastick Woods Golf Course is also a public golf course that is part of Cleveland Metroparks in the Rocky River Reservation on Puritas Road, directly across the Rocky River from the location of the historic Puritas Springs Amusement Park.

And these three locations are located very close to the Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport.

This is yet another consistent finding.

Here is two examples of this, out of countless to choose from.

One is the Oshawa Executive Airport and Golf Club and the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club, just east of Toronto in Oshawa, which also has the Ajax Downs Racetrack and Casino to the southwest of the airport.

Another is in Hamilton, Ontario, at the western end of Lake Ontario, where there are three golf courses in close vicinity to the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport – the Knollwood Golf Course, Willow Valley Golf Course, and the Chippewa Creek Golf & Country Club – and the Ohsweken Speedway is also to the southwest of the airport.

I believe that golf courses, another name for which is “links,” were actually earthwork links, and that today’s racing tracks, also called racing circuits, were actually circuits, and both were part of the original free-energy grid system, as well as the airports they are near.

The Westwood Country Club is right in-between the Columbia Beach Falls and the Big Met Golf Course.

The Westwood Country Club is one-mile, or 1.6-kilometers, from the shore of Lake Erie.

It is another golf course said to have been built during the “Golden Era of Golf” in the early 1900s.

It first opened in 1914, and is part of a private golf club, and has hosted golf legends like Arnold Palmer and Bobby Jones.

The course is noted for its challenging design and stone bridges.

I have also consistently found golf courses right next to all of the Great Lakes, including but not limited to, rhe Wanakah Country Club on Lake Erie not far from the Greater Buffalo-area, which is in- between the Seaway Trail, and the railroad tracks going through the area, and the Cloverbank Country Club is on the other side of the tracks from it…

..and like these examples along the shoreline of Lake Huron…

…and like this example showing golf courses on both sides of the Niagara River on Lake Ontario, to show a few of many examples.

Next, the Columbia Beach Falls in Columbia Park near Bay Village, Ohio, are noteworthy for flowing directly into Lake Erie.

I have been stating my belief throughout this series that the Great Lakes were formed from tremendous amounts of water from the outflow of the waterfalls and the interconnected hydrology of the canal system found throughout the Great Lakes region, when the original free-energy grid was destroyed and which subsequently destroyed the landscape.

This map gives you an idea of just how many waterfalls are found throughout the region, and it is very important to note there are many more waterfalls than what is shown here.

Columbia Beach Falls provide one example of waterfalls flowing directly into one of the lakes.

Other examples that I have come across include include Sable Falls at the northeastern end of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore near Munising, Michigan, on Lake Superior, which flow 75-feet, or 23-meters, over sandstone formations directly into Lake Superior.

Also, the Sauble Falls, located in the Sauble Falls Provincial Park in the town of South Bruce Peninsula, which is 22-miles, or 36-kilometers west of Owen Sound.

The Sauble Falls are in the lower drainage basin of the Sauble River, which flows directly into Lake Huron.

As a matter of fact, the tremendous amount of water from the Niagara Falls on the Niagara River drains directly into Lake Ontario.

Niagara Falls, the largest waterfall by volume in North America, consists of a group of three waterfalls on the Niagara River spanning the international border between New York and Ontario – Horseshoe Falls in Ontario and Bridal Veil Falls and American Falls in New York.

Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls, is the largest of the three, with approximately 90% of the Niagara River flowing over it.

The remaining 10% of the Niagara River flows over the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls, the smallest of the three located right next to American Falls.

Altogether, 3,160-tons of water flow over all three of the Niagara Falls every second, with water plunging 32-feet, or 10-meters, every second, hitting the base with 280-tons of force at the American and Bridal Veil Falls, and 2,509-tons of force at the Horseshoe Falls.

Niagara Falls is also capable of producing 4-million kilowatts of electricity, which is shared by the United States and Canada, and is also noteworthy for its present-day and historic hydroelectric and power-generation facilities.

Next, the Huntington Reservation is west of the Columbia Beach Falls, and is also part of Bay Village.

The Huntington Reservation these days is part of the Cleveland Metroparks system, and contains three-miles, or almost 5-kilometers, of trails and habitats, from a beach area to forest and meadow.

We are told that the wealthy Cleveland industrialist, John Huntington, who was a founder of Standard Oil, purchased the land in 1880 as a summer retreat and hobby farm.

He was said to have built a fine home on the land, as well as a water tower and steam-pump system to irrigate his orchards and gardens.

Cleveland Metroparks purchased the land in 1925, opening it up for access to the public.

The Water Tower on the bluff of the Huntington Reservation is its most recognized landmark.

It is said to be one of the few remaining features of Huntington’s country estate.

The Lake Shore Electric Railway once-operated an interurban line directly through Bay Village, serving the area from 1901 until 1938.This interurban line connected Cleveland to Toledo, Detroit and other points west.

Remnants of the interurban line can be found in what’s left of the Lake Shore Electric Railway trestle in the Huntington Reservation.

On the Huntington Beach part of the Reservation, you can sun next to a breakwater of megalithic stones, or look for interesting carvings on the megalithic stones.

We next head west into Avon Lake from the area of the Huntington Reservation and Bay Village.

Avon Lake is 17-miles, or 27-kilometers, west of Cleveland, and in the northeastern corner of Lorain County, and also part of the historic Connecticut Western Reserve.

Avon Lake has industrial significance with a major coal-fired powerplant (now closed); an important regional water system; and is a major production site for Ford Vehicles.

First, the former coal-fired Avon Lake Power Plant was established in 1926, and was one of the world’s largest, supplying electricity to the Cleveland-area.

It closed in 2022 and is currently being redeveloped into a lakefront public space combined with a mixed-use development district.

The Avon Lake Regional Water System was established with a filtration plant in 1926, the same year as the powr plant.

It has expanded from a local provider to a regional hub, serving 200,000 residents over 7 counties and handles water filtration, sewage treatment and infrastructure maintenance for surrounding communities.

Avon Lake is also a production site for Ford Vehicles in the form of the Ford Avon Lake Plant, also known as the Ohio Assembly Plant, one of Ford’s major assembly facilities in the United States, particularly commercial and fleet vehicles, and is a major employer in the region.

The previously-mentioned Lake Shore Electric Railway ran along Avon Lake’s Electric Boulevard.

The railway’s right-of-way was turned into this major thoroughfare, and it was named after the Lake Shore Electric Railway.

Interurbans functioned as streetcars between cities and were worldwide, and made to go away for the most part a long time ago.

Just a few remain in operation compared to what there once was, like this one on the Isle of Man in the United Kingdom, which is an interurban that connects the island’s capital Douglas with Laxey in the east and Ramsey in the north.

As you can see, the interurban is travelling on a track that is on top of a cliff or bluff that looks like sheared-off land, right next to the water’s edge.

Avon Point in Avon Lake is a prominent residential and scenic point extending into Lake Erie known for its shale reef and clay flat topography.

Electric Boulevard runs very close to it.

We are told that Lake Erie’s clay flats are extensive, submerged or semi-exposed lakebed areas that are composed of dense cohesive clay and fine silt deposited from glacial lakes a long time ago.

Clay flats are common in the central basin of Lake Erie, where an estimated 77% of the Ohio portion of the lakebed is composed of silt and clay, making these flats a dominant feature of the underwater environment.

I beg to differ from the official explanation of glacial lakes because I believe there is another explanation that we have not been told about, which is that of a recent cataclysm involving the destruction of key infrastructure of the Earth’s original energy grid, like railways, lighthouses and star forts.

There are hints of something of a cataclysmic nature taking place found in our historical narrative, like the New Madrid Earthquakes in the winter of 1811 and 1812, three of which were estimated to be the largest earthquakes ever recorded in the United States, that the USGS estimated were between 7 and 8 on the Richter Scale.

The first large one took place on December 16th of 1811; the second one on January 23rd of 1812; and the third large one on February 7th of 1812.

Descriptions of what happened during the first one included rolling ground; uprooted trees; huge chasms opening up and swallowing whatever was above; the Mississippi River flowing backwards; and general pandemonium from frightened people.

The series of earthquakes in the New Madrid region dramatically affected the landscape, causing bank failures along the Mississippi River; destroyed entire communities; caused landslides along the Chickasaw Bluffs in Tennessee and Kentucky; large tracts of land subsided on the Mississippi flood plain; and liquified subsurface sediment spread over a large area at great distances.

Liquefaction was described as widespread and severe.

Sand blows, described as large sandy deposits resulting from an eruption of water and sand to the ground surface, formed over an area of 4,015-square-miles, or 10,400-square-kilometers.

This is a photograph of soil liquefaction that occurred during the 7.5 magnitude earthquake that occurred on September 28th of 2018 on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.

It is interesting to note that we are told after all of this devastation in the New Madrid Region, it took three-years to get federal action on disaster relief for the region with the onset of the War of 1812, with Congress finally approving $50,000 for the New Madrid Relief Act on February 17th of 1815, making it the nation’s first disaster relief of its kind.

The Act provided that anyone who lost land due to the earthquake was eligible to receive between 160 and 640 “like acres” of land elsewhere in Missouri.

But what we are told ended up happening was land agents arriving in the area to buy up the acreage and conned many New Madrid residents, offering them pennies on the dollar, and speculators subsequently claimed the new lands, and that of the 516 certificates issued by Congress, only 20 went to New Madrid residents, with most being held by people in St. Louis.

At any rate, Lake Erie is the shallowest and smallest by volume of the five lakes, and has an average depth of 63-feet, or 19-meters.

It is divided into three basins.

The Western Basin, and Lake St. Clair in the Detroit-Windsor area connected to Lake Erie by the Detroit River, are quite shallow, with depths throughout ranging from 0- to -10-meters, or 33-feet.

The Central Basin is somewhat deeper, with depths ranging from 0- to 25-meters, or 0 – 82-feet.

The Eastern Basin is the deepest, with depths ranging from 0- to 64-meters, or 0- to 210-feet, where the deepest point of Lake Erie is marked by an “X” circled in red, making it the only Great Lake whose deepest point is above sea-level.

The depth contrast of the shallow western-end and the deep eastern-end causes water to pile-up when strong winds push the lake-water from Toledo on the western end to Buffalo on the eastern end, causing the water to pile up on the Buffalo-end, and then the resulting “sloshing effect” causes the water to rebound and return to the western end when the winds subside.

Lake Erie is more prone to seiches than the other Great Lakes.

A “seiche” is the name for a standing wave in an enclosed, or partially-enclosed, body of water.

The seiches of Lake Erie are known to drain water out of one end of the lake and cause extreme flooding at the other end.

There are numerous of shipwrecks around Avon Point.

Lake Erie has one of the highest concentrations of shipwrecks anywhere on Earth, with an estimated 2,000 sunken vessels and only 400 of those have been discovered.

As a matter of fact, the relatively shallow waters found throughout the Great Lakes are notorious for shipwrecks, with an estimated somewhere between 6,000 to 10,000 ships and somewhere around 30,000 lives lost.

The reasons we are typically given for the high number of shipwrecks consist of things like severe weather, heavy cargo and navigational challenges.

Moving westward on the lakeshore from Avon Lake, we come to the Lorain Harbor lighthouse and the Vermilion Lighthouse.

In-between these two lighthouses to the south are the Lorain County Regional Airport and the Lorain Raceway Park.

There are over 50 lighthouses around the shores of Lake Erie alone, and I have been tracking these as well as the lighthouses around all of the Great Lakes throughout this series.

While all of the Great Lakes have lighthouses, it is interesting to note that one of Michigan’s nicknames is “The Lighthouse State,” as it has more lighthouses than any other state.

The State of Michigan is surrounded by four-out-of-the-five Great Lakes.

Generally-speaking, Lake Superior is on the northern-side of Michigan, bordering the state’s Upper Peninsula; Lake Michigan is on the western-side; Lake Huron on the eastern-side; and Lake Erie on the southeastern-side.

I am going to talk about the Lorain Harbor and the Vermilion Lighthouses first, but before I talk about these two, I want to say a few things about lighthouses in general, and I am not saying the following without having done a great deal of research on places with lighthouses and similar terrain and water features all over the Earth.

First and foremost, I have no doubt that the original purpose of lighthouses is not what we are told, and that the people who took credit for building them did not build them.

I think “lighthouses” were quite literally referring to “a house for light” for the purposes of precisely distributing the energy generated by this gigantic integrated system that existed all over the Earth that was in perfect alignment with everything on Earth and in heaven.

I would like to thank the viewer who left the link for this video in a comment on “The Last Lighthouse Keeper Who Knew What the Light Really Powered – What He Wrote (1912)” from “The Lost Epoch” YouTube Channel.

It is an extremely thought-provoking video that I highly recommend people watch.

Here is the first minute of it, and the full video is linked in the description for this video.

Even the colossal “Statue of Liberty” was a lighthouse in Upper New York Bay, and utilized as such from November 1st of 1886 until March 1st of 1902 in our historical record, and I have found that all lighthouses were in perfect alignment with the heavens, including solar, lunar, and Milky Way alignments.

These are just few of countless examples to show you what I am talking about.

They certainly became utilized as navigational aids, but I think that was because the land sheared off and sank right beside where they were located, creating the rocky and dangerous reefs and shallow areas in the waters that the lighthouses became needed for.

Here’s what I was able to find out about the Lorain Harbor and Vermilion Lighthouses.

First, the Lorain Harbor Lighthouse.

Also known as the Lorain West Breakwater Lighthouse, it was said to have been built in 1917 by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, and that it is the fourth lighthouse to serve Lorain’s Black River Port.

After an automated light was installed nearby in 1965, this structure was decommissioned, and scheduled for demolition, but was saved by the community of Lorain as an historic landmark.

The fourth-order Fresnel Lens that was in this lighthouse returned to Lorain in 2014 and is on display in the Lorain Port Authority office.

It had been removed when the lighthouse was decommissioned in 1965 and stored in Cleveland.

Then loaned in 1984 as part of a renovation campaign to the Historical Society for the Charlotte-Genessee lighthouse on Lake Ontario.

There are an estimated 350 to 400 lighthouses across the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence river, and of those, more than 200 lighthouses are still active as navigational aids.

Of those more than 200 lighthouses, only sixteen lighthouses have their original Fresnel Lens’, like the Dunkirk Lighthouse on Lake Erie not far from the Greater Buffalo-area.

The third-order Fresnel Lens at the Dunkirk Lighthouse is currently valued at USD $1.5-million.

In a Fresnel Lens, hundreds of pieces of specially-cut glass surround a lamp bulb, which intensifies the glow from the light and focuses rays of light that would normally be scattered into one intense beam of light that shines in a specific direction.

The Fresnel Lens could also produce an unlimited number of flashing combinations with an intensified light that could be seen at great distances.

The Vermilion Lighthouse is approximately 11-miles, or 18-kilometers, further on down the Lake Erie shoreline from the Lorain Harbor Lighthouse.

The lighthouse there today was said to have been constructed near the mouth of the Vermilion River in 1991 and dedicated in 1992.

It is said to be a replica of a lighthouse there that had been removed in 1929 from Vermilion, and moved to the St. Lawrence Seaway and reinstalled as the East Charity Shoal Light in 1935.

The Vermilion Lighthouse is illuminated with a 100-watt LED lightbulb with a 5th-order Fresnel Lens.

The 5th-order Fresnel lens in this lighthouse is described as an acryclic-lens that was a reproduction of the 1877 Barbier and Fenestre Fresnel Lens of the original lighthouse.

The Lake Shore Electric Railway that was in operation from 1901 to 1938, ran right along the shore near these two lighthouses.

There is a historical marker at Vermilion’s Rotary Park commemorating the interurban line that once ran through here.

It is at the site where the Lake Shore Electric Railway crossed a bridge over the Vermilion River.

Known at one time as the “Greatest Electric Railway,” the Lake Shore Electric Railway along the southern shore of Lake Erie could reach speeds of 60-mph, or 97-kph.

There are still active rail-lines running all along the Lake Erie shore-line, including through Vermilion and Lorain, with CSX, Norfolk Southern and the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad running freight, and Amtrak running passenger service through the Lake Shore Limited Line, and is considered a high-traffic rail corridor.

The Lorain Raceway Park and Lorain County Regional Airport are to the South and in-between Lorain and Vermilion.

The Lorain Raceway Park is an auto-racing track that first opened in 1949 as a dirt oval-track and it was paved between the 1960 and 1961 racing seasons.

It hosts short-track racing events like stock cars and sprint cars.

The Lorain County Regional Airport is located in the New Russia Township and 7-miles, or 11-kilometers, south of Lorain.

It is a general aviation reliever airport, and is a hub for corporate and private aviation.

It provides relief in the event a primary or commercial airport requires either temporary or permanent additional capacity.

From the Vermilion-area, we are heading into Sandusky, which is roughly mid-way between Cleveland and Toledo.

On the way into Sandusky, I would like to take a look at the area around Nickel Plate Beach, and the NASA Neil Armstrong Test Facility.

In our historical narrative, what became the public Nickel Plate Beach started out as a tourism spot known as “Otto’s Camp” before the Village of Huron entered into a lease in 1958 for $25/year for 11.6-acres from the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad Company, otherwise known as the “Nickel Plate Road” as previously-mentioned.

Nickel Plate Beach itself is known for its swimming, volleyball, and picnic areas with grills.

There are also no lifeguards on duty at Nickel Plate Beach, and it is known for the occurrence of dangerous rip currents.

Rip currents are dangerous and narrow, fast-moving channels of water that flow from the beach out into the body of water in which they are occurring, and often form in gaps near sand-bars and structures like piers.

They are considered

The Nickel Plate Beach Fishing Pier on the west-end of the Nickel Plate Beach is called a stone-lined jetty that is a popular spot for fishing, birding and viewing the Huron Harbor Lighthouse.

The Huron Harbor Lighthouse is located at the end of the west pier of the Huron Harbor.

The current lighthouse at this location was said to have been designed in the “Art Deco” style of the 1930s, and first lit in 1936.

Still in use today, the light was automated in 1972, and the tower’s lantern room was removed and replaced by a beacon.

Here is a view of the Huron Harbor Lighthouse in an alignment with the Milky Way.

The Huron Harbor Impoundment area is right next to the lighthouse.

It is a roughly 70-acre, or 28-hectare, diked containment facility that was said to have been constructed in 1975 to hold dredged sediment from the harbor.

It is managed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The NASA Neil Armstrong Test Facility is a relatively short-distance to the southwest of the Nickel Plate Beach and Huron Harbor area.

The NASA Neil Armstrong Test Facility is a remote campus of the Glenn Research Center mentioned previously next to the Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport.

It is home to some of the world’s largest space simulation test facilities, where ground tests are conducted for the U. S. and International space and aeronautics communities.

Next I am going to turn my attention to Sandusky first by entering the area first from the Lake Erie shoreline just west of Huron Harbor and Nickel Plate Beach.

I am going to be taking a look at the Sawmill Creek Golf Course and Sawmill Creek Beach; the Plum Brook Country Club; the Pump Station for Plum Brook Ordnance; the Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve; the Dildine Ditch; and Heidelberg Materials Aggregates.

First, the Sawmill Creek Golf Course, Sawmill Creek Beach and Plum Creek Country Club.

The Sawmill Creek Golf Course is located right next to Lake Erie, like other golf courses we have seen along the way.

First opened in 1974, it is a semi-private golf course located 45-minutes from both downtown Cleveland and downtown Toledo.

It is known for its rolling hills, pristine fairways, and stunning water features, and considered to be one of Ohio’s finest golfing destinations.

Sawmill Creek Beach is a small private beach that is available exclusively for guests of the Sawmill Creek by Cedar Point Resorts.

More cut-and-shaped stone blocks are visible at this location.

The Plum Brook Country Club is right across the railroad tracks from the Sawmill Creek Golf Course and the Sawmill Creek Beach.

The Plum Brook Country Club is a private member country club and is also advertised as a wedding venue.

We are told it was first established as a private club sometime around 1914 and the 18-hole golf course first opening in 1919 and the historic club house first opening in 1920.

Over the years, it has hosted golf legends like Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan.

Just up the shoreline from Sawmill Creek Beach we come to the Pump Station that was originally for the Plum Brook Ordnance Works, as well as the Sheldon Marsh States Nature Preserve, and just on the other side of the railroad tracks from there is what is known as the Dildine Ditch.

First, the pump station that was originally for the Plum Brook Ordnance Works and became part of NASA’s Plum Brook Station.

The history we are told about the Pump Station and Water Intake for Plum Brook Ordnance Works is that it was constructed in 1941 to support World War II explosives production.

The pump station and two underground water lines were said to have been installed here in the spring and summer of 1941 as a crucial part of the Plum Brook Ordnance Works, which was used to manufacture massive amounts of TNT, the major high-explosive used in World War II ordnances.

Then at what became Plum Brook Station, NASA was said to have built a 60-megawatt nuclear research reactor for potential space applications that operated from 1961 to 1973.

The Plum Brook Reactor used the water intake from Lake Erie for cooling and moderation.

The historic water intake for the Plum Brook Ordnance Works/Station is located in-between the Sheldon Marsh States Nature Preserve and the Sawmill Beach Resort-area.

The Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve is a 472-acre, or 191-hectare, area that is one of the last relatively undeveloped stretches of shoreline in the Sandusky area, and is protected for conservation purposes.

It contains diverse ecosystems in its relatively small space, including wetlands, hardwood and swamp forests; old fields and pine plantations; and mudflats.

More thoughts on this to come shortly.

The Dildine Ditch and Heidelberg Materials, Aggregates near these locations caught my eye.

First, the Dildine Ditch.

It is a waterway that flows into the Dildine Pond, and bisects the Osborn MetroPark from southwest to northeast.

The Osborn MetroPark is located right next to the Plum Brook Country Club on one side of it, and the railroad tracks on the other.

It is described as a man-made ditch or canal that was constructed in 1923 for drainage or water management to make agriculture possible in what was originally marshy-land.

These days it is a popular kayaking and fishing spot.

I seriously question that it was built when it was said to have been built, and believe that it was originally part of a canal system here.

According to our historical narrative, Sandusky was never considered a canal hub the same way as other Ohio cities with the Ohio and Erie Canal linking the Ohio River to Lake Erie at Cleveland and the Miami and Erie Canal connecting Cincinnati to Toledo.

The Sandusky-area was said to have instead numerous drainage ditches and minor canals like the Dildine Ditch built mainly in the mid-to-late 1800s and early 1900s designed to drain the Great Black Swamp-type wetlands that once covered northern Ohio, and I will go in-depth about the Great Black Swamp shortly since we are near its historical location.

Keep in mind here what I’ve said previously about my belief that the Great Lakes were formed from tremendous amounts of water from the outflow of the waterfalls and the interconnected hydrological system including canals when the original energy grid was destroyed.

I believe the destruction of this energy grid was a worldwide event, and that the surface of the Earth was subsequently destroyed around its key infrastructure, which besides waterfalls, included components like canals, rail infrastructure, lighthouses, and what we know of as “forts,” which subsequently turned the landscape we see today into lakes, dunes, deserts, swamps, bogs, or causing the land to shear off and/or become submerged.

Also, the Heidelberg Materials, Aggregates near these locations caught my eye.

I have consistently found places like these throughout my research of what is found around the Great Lakes for this series.

It is a supplier of cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and other building materials.

This is a good place to assert my belief that the aggregate and cement industry is built upon pulverizing ancient stone masonry. 

It’s not supposed to be there in our historical narrative, so we don’t even conceive of it, so certain industries can do whatever they want because it doesn’t exist. 

These photos are all connected with the Dolese Quarry, based in Oklahoma, which is a major company providing aggregates, concrete, and products used for building. 

This was the first example that I became aware of when I started waking up to all of this when I was living in Oklahoma between 2012 and 2016.

This photo was taken of a roundabout in Arizona, with ancient masonry blocks in the foreground; the road sign saying Cement Plant Road in the middle of the picture; and in the distance you are seeing the Cement Plant in Clarkdale, Arizona. 

And there’s plenty of ancient masonry everywhere in this area, so they will never, ever run out of raw material. 

There is an inexhaustible supply of unrecognized masonry all over the world.

Next, I am going to take a look at some other places in Sandusky, going from west-to-east, starting at Sandusky Falls on the western-side; the Lower Bay and Dock Channels & the Battery Park Marina on the Lower Sandusky Bay Waterfront; some places in the Central Business District of Sandusky, like the Merry-Go-Round Museum and the Erie County Courthouse; and the Kiwanis Baseball Park, the Sandusky City Water Works, the Pipe Creek Wilderness Areas, Cedar Point Drive and Cedar Point Road on the eastern-side of Sandusky next to Lake Erie.

First, Sandusky Falls on Cold Creek on the western-side of Sandusky, close to Sandusky Bay.

Sandusky Falls is described as a small waterfall that can be viewed while dining at the Margaritaville Restaurant.

Next, the Lower Bay Channel, Dock Channel and the Battery Park Marina on the Lower Sandusky Bay Waterfront.

But first, a little bit about Sandusky Bay.

The Sandusky Bay is described as a large shallow, estuary of Lake Erie.

It is separated from Lake Erie by a long sandbar and marsh system, with openings that connect it to the lake.

It is crossed in the middle by the Thomas A. Edison Memorial Bridge carrying US Route 2 across the bay, and the Sandusky Bay Bridge, which is a railroad bridge.

It is one of the shallowest parts of Lake Erie’s coastal system.

Sandusky Bay is known for sediment-heavy water and shifting levels due to wind from previously-mentioned seiches.

We are told because of the shallowness and variable conditions, channels are essential for boating and shipping.

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dredges the main shipping channels in Sandusky Bay every year or every few years depending on funding and sediment build-up.

The Lower Bay Channel is classified as a manmade canal/channel in Erie County, and part of a broader system of waterways connecting the bay to marinas, marshes and Lake Erie.

The Dock Channel is a local navigation channel that is a dredged access lane to docks, marinas, and industrial waterfronts that is maintained to be deeper than the surrounding shallow bay areas so boats can safely reach docking areas.

The Lower Bay Channel is used primarily for fishing, recreation and handles bulk cargo like coal and limestone.

The Battery Park Marina is one of the main boating hubs on Sandusky Bay, and is a full-service base for boating on Lake Erie, and one of the most convenient jumping-off points for western Lake Erie boating.

I was curious about the history of this location, especially because of the name “Battery Park,” and these are a few things that I was able to find out about it.

The original 1818 plat of Sandusky, known as the Kilbourne Plat, called for the installation of two gun batteries – one at the east-end and one at the west-end of the waterfront as look-out points for a British attack by water, but no forts were ever built.

We are told that by 1853, this eastern area was mostly enclosed by the rail-line constructed by the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad going through downtown Sandusky.

The area where the east battery was supposed to be was mostly water.

Over a period of years, land was filled in by various business owners.

Long-story short, starting in 1961, a lease was granted for a showplace marina, and remains so today.

The name “Battery Park” is seen in many places, and has a very specific historical meaning from military terminology.

In our historical narrative, cities with a “Battery Park” was a place where a group of cannon known as a “battery” were positioned together for defense to protect a city or harbor, often along a water front.

Perhaps the most famous “Battery Park” is at the southern tip of Manhattan, the historical location of Fort Amsterdam, which was a classic star fort said to have been surrendered by the Dutch to the British in 1664 and Castle Clinton, also known as the “West Battery,” a circular fort said to have been built of red sandstone between 1808 and 1811, and the first immigration center of the United States before Ellis Island, between 1855 and 1890.

This brings us to meanings of the word “battery.”

One is “a device that produces electricity; may have several primary or secondary cells arranged in parallel or series.”

And another is “the heavy fire of artillery to saturate an area rather than hit a specific target.”

I find these historic forts worldwide, which are often actually called “batteries” and nowadays “star forts,” arranged in pairs or clusters, some still standing and some not.

For an example, I can make a good case that there were four pairs of star forts, with each pair situated along various points of the Lower and Upper New York Bays, even though the physical structure of what was called Fort Gibson on Ellis Island is long buried and gone.

I believe that these fortifications in our narrative originally functioned as batteries for the Earth’s original grid system, in the same way that the batteries we use in our daily lives to produce electricity for our various devices.

Next I am going to look at a few places in Sandusky’s Central Business District not far from the waterfront area I was just looking at, including Washington Park; the Erie County Courthouse; and the Merry-Go-Round Museum.

But first I am going to talk about the 1818 Kilbourne Plat that involves this area with Washington Square featuring prominently on a geometric pattern in a grid in the original plat map that that is visible in this Google Earth screenshot.

We are told that the city plan of Sandusky was an unusual and interesting layout for an early American city, with its standard rectangular street grid; diagonal streets cutting across the grid; and symmetrical blocks and intersections.

Hector Kilbourne was the freemason credited with the survey and design of Sandusky, and he was the Master of the first Masonic Lodge that was founded in Sandusky in 1819.

The Sandusky city design is not different from what we see in other places with its geometry.

For example, in Buffalo, New York, the Buffalo City Hall, the seat of the city’s government, is located at 65 Niagara Square, which is a square said to be in the original 1805 radial street pattern designed by Joseph Ellicott for the village of New Amsterdam from which eight streets radiated from this central hub.

I found a similar street lay-out when I was looking at Goderich on the Ontario-side of Lake Huron.

Today’s Courthouse Park is marked “Market Place” on the street plan of Goderich, centrally-placed in a geometric configuration also where eight streets radiate from it.

Courthouse Park in Goderich brought to mind the “Place de L’Etoile” in Paris, which has the Arch de Triomphe sitting in the center of twelve radiating streets.

Today’s Washington Park in Sandusky is a central green space that is known for its historic “Boy with the Boot” fountain, its floral clock, and it is located in front of the Erie County Courthouse.

The “Boy with the Boot” fountain is a zinc statue depicting a boy holding a leaking boot, and has become one of the primary symbols of the city.

Come to find out, it is one of the many statues found around the world featuring the same theme of a boy holding a leaking boot, like this one in the Kingsway Garden in the “Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Gardens,” in Cleethorpes in England’s Northeast Lancashire.

Washington Park is also known for its floral clock.

It keeps track of the time and date, as well as being designed and maintained with a colorful array of seasonal flowers.

This brought to mind the Peacock Topiary Gardens in the Parc-St. Pierre in front of the L’Hotel de Ville, or Town Hall, of Calais in France.

This is a comparison of the clock tower of the Town Hall in Calais on the left, with the Elizabeth Tower at the Westminster Palace in London on the right.

Interesting to note that in our historical narrative, the Town Hall in Calais was said to have been constructed starting in 1911; had to be delayed because of World War I between 1914 and 1918; and was finally completed by 1925.

The construction of the Elizabeth Tower in London as part of the new Palace of Westminster was said to have started in 1843 and completed in 1859.

The Erie County Courthouse is adjacent to Washington Park in Sandusky.

This is what we are told about it.

There was a contest for the design of the courthouse, and the winning design for it was constructed by 1874.

It was said to have been constructed in the Second Empire Architectural style, also known as the Napoleon III or Haussmann Architectural-style that was said to have originated in the Second French Empire between 1852 and 1870.

Then we are told the courthouse was extensively remodeled as part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal Works Progress Administration between 1936 and 1939, and the building no longer looks the same.

The Merry-Go-Round Museum is in the next block west of the Erie County Courthouse.

The Merry-Go-Round Museum is located in the Old Sandusky Post Office.

It is dedicated to the history and art of carousels, including what we are told was a restored full-sized 1939 carousel.

The Old Sandusky Post Office was said to have been a neoclassical building built between 1925 and 1927, which would have been right before the Great Depression.

In addition to the post office, it housed U. S. Customs, the FBI, and the National Weather Service.

The building has served as the Merry-Go-Round Museum since 1990.

This round building in Sandusky brought to mind the round Theatre du Rond-Point in Paris, a performing arts venue, and said to be the only building to still remain standing from the 1855 Exposition in Paris.

The Universal Exposition of the Industry of All the Nations was in Paris on the Champs-Elysees, from May 15th to November 15th in 1855, early in the reign of Emperor Napoleon III.

The Theatre du Rond-Point is located on one of the most famous roundabouts in Paris near the Champs-Elysee, though it is smaller than the nearby Etoile Roundabout of the Arc de Triomphe.

Now I am going to take a look back in Sandusky at one of the places where Lake Erie meets Sandusky Bay, in-between the Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve and the land which contains the famous Cedar Point Amusement Park.

I am going to check out Cedar Point Road, Cedar Point Drive, and the area in-between containing the Kiwanis Baseball Park, Sandusky Water Distribution and Pipe Creek Wilderness Area.

First, Cedar Point Road.

Cedar Point Road is local road on a narrow strip of land that runs parallel to Lake Erie on one-side and Sandusky Bay on the other-side, along the eastern side of what is known as the Cedar Point Peninsula.

There are expensive, lakefront homes on Cedar Point Road.

There are older, cottage-style homes; updated lake houses and larger luxury homes with high-end finishes.

All subject to wind, lake-effect weather, and erosion.

It has been my experience doing this research that I continually find prime real estate prized by the elites on or near ruined land, like there are some places they place an extremely high-value on over everywhere else for a reason we know nothing about.

Like the Rattray Marsh on Sheridan Creek in Mississauga, Ontario, between Toronto and Burlington.

The Rattray Park Estates is an affluent, exclusive residential area, known for large luxury homes on big lots and mature trees.

I explored this subject in-depth in my blog post: “Recovering Lost History from the Estuaries, Pine Barrens & Elite Enclaves off the Atlantic Northeast Coast of the United States.”

This includes places like Martha’s Vineyard, an island located south of Cape Cod, and a popular summer colony for the wealthy.

In a study by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, the Cost-of-Living on the island was found to be 60% higher than the national average, and the cost of housing 96% higher.

Vineyard Haven on Martha’s Vineyard was named the #1 most expensive town in the United States by Lending Tree in 2021.

Next, Cedar Point Drive is the main road accessing the Cedar Point Amusement Park between the mainland and the narrow peninsula it is situated on next to Lake Erie.

More on the Cedar Point Amusement Park shortly.

The previously-mentioned Lake Shore Electric Railway in our narrative played a major role in developing Cedar Point as a regional draw in the early 20th-century, bringing passengers in for the day for the lake, beach, and early amusements.

Sandusky became a hub where rail passengers could transfer via steamboats or ferries to reach the Cedar Point Peninsula.

Next I want to take a look at the area on the mainland that is right next to Cedar Point Drive where the Kiwanis Baseball Park, Sandusky Water Distribution facilities and Pipe Creek Wildlife Areas are found.

First, the Kiwanis Baseball Park got my interest because it seems like a strange place to have one.

I have long-wondered about a connection between athletic fields to the Earth’s grid system since finding a baseball-field in another strange place, which was one sandwiched between a star fort called Fort Negley and the railroad yards in Nashville…

…and the connection of railroads to star forts when I found the former location of the Fort of Pensacola on the bottom right..

…and this map shows its previous location with railyards just below the former location of the Fort of Pensacola, the lay-out of which immediately reminded me of circuit board diagrams.

Next the Sandusky Water Treatment/Distribution facility known as the “Big Island Water Works” is directly adjacent to the Pipe Creek Wildlife/Wilderness Area.

The water treatment plant handles drinking water processing and distribution for the city, drawing water from Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay.

The Pipe Creek Wildlife Area is classified as a 97-acre, or 39-hectare, engineered wetland and marsh complex inside the Sandusky city limits.

It was said to have been built in the 1990s as a mitigation wetland to replace habitat lost to development, and described as diked marshes with controlled water levels.

The Pipe Creek Wildlife Area is a birding hotspot for ducks, geese, herons, egrets, sandpipers, rails, terns, bald eagles, and large numbers of seasonal migrating birds.

Next I am going to look at the Cedar Point Peninsula with the Cedar Point Amusement Park; the Cedar Point Lighthouse, as well as the Breakwater lighthouse just off-shore; Johnson’s Island; the Lakeside Marblehead area and Lighthouse State Park; and the Lakeside Daisy State Nature Preserve.

First, one of the places Sandusky is best known for Cedar Point, one of the world’s most famous amusement parks, particularly known for its large number of roller coaster rides, of which there are 18.

Cedar Point has been owned and operated by Six Flags since 2024.

First opening in 1870, Cedar Point is said to the second-oldest operating amusement park in the United States after Lake Compounce in Connecticut which first opened in 1846.

Cedar Point was said to have started out as a lakeside resort with a beer garden, dance hall, and bathhouse, but that by the 1890s it shifted to rides and entertainment, with its first roller coaster debuting in 1892, the Switchback Railway.

We are told Cedar Point was considered a testing ground for roller coaster technology, with many industry milestones achieved there like height, speeds and inversions that influenced parks around the world.

The Cedar Point Amusement Park was not called a classic trolley park in our narrative, in that it was not said to have been built or owned by a streetcar company, but that it instead evolved as a “trolley-park-style” destination, with rail and streetcar connections from Sandusky making it easier for people coming for the day to visit, and offered picnic grounds, beaches and dances to encourage repeat visits and transportation use.

The historic Cedar Point Lighthouse on the northern tip of the Cedar Point Peninsula is on the grounds of the Cedar Point Amusement Park, and is part of the park’s “Lighthouse Park Cottage and Camping Area.”

The structure that stands today was said to have been completed in 1862, which would have been in the middle of the American Civil War, and served as a navigational aid until 1909, the same year the light-tower was removed from the top of it.

Over the years, it was in use by the Federal Government as a buoy depot, radio beacon station and a search-and-rescue station.

It was acquired by the Cedar Point Amusement Park in 1987, and we are told they refurbished it and reconstructed the light-tower, and it opened in 2001 as part of the vacation cottage development.

The Sandusky Harbor Breakwater Lighthouse is located just off-shore from Cedar Point.

In 1993, the current one was said to have replaced an earlier one at this location.

Next, Johnson’s Island.

It is located in Sandusky Harbor between the Marblehead Peninsula and downtown Sandusky.

Johnson’s Island was known historically for a couple of things.

One is that it was the location of a Prisoner-of-War camp for Confederate Officers captured during the American Civil War.

Another is that it was the location of “The Johnson’s Island Pleasure Resort.”

It was a recreational destination starting in the late 19th-century that operated between 1894 and 1906, shortly after its time as a Confederate Prisoner-of-War destination.

The resort featured pavilion entertainment, baseball park and grandstand, and fishing, but faced competition from Cedar Point and had a problem with fires, and was short-lived.

It eventually became a residential area and remains so to this day.

Next, the Marblehead Peninsula is the location of the Lakeside Marblehead area and Lighthouse State Park, and the Lakeside Daisy State Nature Preserve.

The Marblehead Peninsula juts into Lake Erie, and separates the open Lake from Sandusky Bay.

The Marblehead Peninsula is famous for the Marblehead Lighthouse, the oldest continuously-operating lighthouse on the American-side of the Great Lakes.

In our historical narrative, it was first lit in 1822.

It sits on a rugged limestone shoreline with views towards the Lake Erie Islands and Cedar Point on clear days.

We are told the Marblehead Peninsula exists geologically because of what is called “Columbus Limestone,” which early settlers mistook for marble, which is how it got its name.

The area has been heavily quarried for limestone both in the past and in the present.

There is still a massive limestone quarry operation in and around the communities of Marblehead and Lakeside, and is operated as the LaFarge-Marblehead Quarry.

It is one of the largest quarries in Ohio, and has been a major industrial site on the peninsula for more than a century.

In our historical narrative, we are told the Lakeside and Marblehead Railroad was built in the late 1800s by quarry companies, and was used primarily to haul stone to mainland rail connections near Danbury and later other regional connections.

Its main purpose was hauling crushed limestone from the huge Marblehead quarries to steel mills, construction markets and Great Lakes shipping docks.

The railroad was in operation from 1886 to the late 20th-century.

It was also used for passenger service, particularly in the “resort-era,” when Lakeside and Lake Erie resorts were booming in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries.

The Lakeside Daisy State Nature Preserve actually sits on old limestone quarry land surrounded by the active quarry operation, and protects the only substantial United States population of the Lakeside Daisy which grows on the exposed limestone on the Marblehead Peninsula.

The preserve was officially protected in 1988 after conservationists pushed to save the remaining habitat from quarry destruction.

Their habitat is called an “alvar,” which is described as a flat limestone landscape, with almost no sun exposure and harsh growing conditions.

The Lakeside Daisy can survive there, but most plants can’t survive.

This location on the Marblehead Peninsula brings to mind a place I came across following a long-distance alignment through the Yorkshire Dales National Park in northern England called Malham Ash, which is actually called a limestone pavement.

The definition of the word pavement is this: 1) a hard, smooth surface, especially of a public area or thoroughfare, that will bear travel; and 2) the material with which such a surface is made.

I want to point out that limestone was a common building material in the ancient world, and used in constructions like the Pyramids of Giza…

…and the Western Wall, also known as the “Wailing Wall,” an ancient limestone wall in the old city of Jerusalem.

Interesting to note from our historical narrative that a “rock ledge” became the landing place for riverboats and wagon trains starting in 1833, on the southside of the Missouri River at what became Kansas City, Missouri.

And all of these strata of limestone were above the surface where that rock ledge was located, underneath layers of soil and trees.

Like I said in several places earlier in this post, it is my opinion that stone quarries are places where megalithic stone blocks are harvested from the original infrastructure of the ancient civilization that is missing from our collective awareness and that the aggregate and cement industry is built upon pulverizing ancient stone masonry. 

It’s not supposed to be there in our historical narrative, so we don’t even conceive that it could be anything other than just rock in a natural state.

I’ve come across a lot of quarries in this series on the Great Lakes, as well as in many other places, like the Rock of Ages Quarry in Graniteville, Vermont, the world’s largest, deep-hole dimension granite quarry.

Next we are heading into Catawba Island and the Lake Erie Islands of the South Bass and Middle Bass Islands, Kelleys Island, Isle St. George, and in Ohio and Pelee Island in Ontario, which are big summer tourist destinations.

First, Catawba Island.

It is located in Ottawa County on the northside of the Marblehead Peninsula, and is actually considered a peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Erie.

It is known for recreational activities like boating, beaches, fishing and dining, and has cottages, resorts, wineries and golf courses.

These days, all of Catawba Island is considered a township, but in the early days in our historical narrative there was a city here built around a lime kiln called Ottawa City near the current Catawba Cliffs residential area.

Two things about this.

One is that we are told the old lime kiln on Catawba Island was a 19th-century industrial site used for processing limestone, which was a major industry around 1910.

Used for burning limestone for cement, fertilizer and plaster, it was part of Catawba Island’s early industrial history alongside rock quarries and timber.

We are told these are the ruins of the historic lime kiln here.

Second, the Catawba Cliffs residential community is a high-end neighborhood featuring luxury homes.

East Cliff Road, associated with the Catawba Cliffs residential community, is one of the most scenic and exclusive residential roads on Catawba Island, running along the northern shoreline overlooking Lake Erie known for its limestone cliffs and private waterfront neighborhoods.

The Catawba Island Club near East Cliff Road is one of the best-known private clubs on Lake Erie, and is part yacht club, part country club and part summer resort community.

It has long-been associated with wealthy families from Cleveland, Toledo and the Midwest who spend their summers on Lake Erie.

The club began in the 1920s as the Catawba Cliffs Beach Club private resort, and was purchased in 1967 by James Stouffer Sr. of the Stouffer Foods family.

The Stouffer family still owns and operates it today.

There’s a lot more to find here on Catawba Island but I am going to move along now.

Next up, South Bass Island and Gibraltar Island in Lake Erie.

Both Islands are part of Ohio’s Put-In Bay Township also in Ottawa County.

Put-In Bay is the largest township in Ohio, with an area of 108,344-acres, but with a population of only 763 people in the 2000 census.

South Bass Island is also a popular recreational destination.

The island has a small airport, and is otherwise accessed by ferries and charter boats.

The historic Hotel Victory was on South Bass Island.

This is what we are told about it.

The construction of the Hotel Victory was started in 1892, and first opened in 1896, its launch having been covered in newspapers across the United States.

It was touted as the biggest hotel in America, and had 625 basic guest rooms and 80 suites.

It had elevators, an indoor swimming pool, efficient steam heating, and electrical lighting, with 3,000 incandescent light bulbs.

Hotel Victory had two dining halls that each could serve 1,200 guests in one sitting.

For a variety of reasons, the Hotel Victory closed and re-opened numerous times during its short existence, as on August 14th of 1919, a fire broke out on the third-floor and quickly spread throughout the whole building.

The local fire department raced to the scene, only to find-out, we are told, that they were outmatched by the immense blaze and unable to contain the fire, resulting in the building’s total loss.

All that remained of the once-grand hotel were parts of the swimming pool’s concrete foundations, and the thirteen-foot, or 4-meter, -tall Victory Statue that once stood at the Hotel’s entrance, which ended-up going to the scrap metal drives of World War II.

Also, Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial is found on an isthmus on South Bass Island.

The world’s tallest Doric Column, it was said to have been constructed by a multi-state commission between 1912 and 1915 after having been selected as the winning design from an international competition.

According to our historical narrative, the memorial was established to celebrate long-lasting peace between the United States, Great Britain, and Canada and honor Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, who successfully commanded the U. S. Navy ships in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.

In our historical narrative, the Battle of Lake Erie, also known as the Battle of Put-in Bay, was fought on September 10th of 1813, and in which nine ships of the U. S. Navy captured six ships of the British Navy, ensuring American control of Lake Erie for the rest of the War of 1812.

Gibraltar Island is a small neighbor to South Bass Island.

Gibraltar Island was said to have been named for its resemblance to the Rock of Gibraltar.

I don’t see it, but okay!!!

Gibraltar Island’s Cooke Castle was said to have been constructed starting in 1864 by American financier Jay Cooke, who financed the Union-side during the Civil War, and developed railroads in the United States in the northwest after the war.

Jay Cooke was considered to be the first major investment banker in the United States.

The former Cooke Estate on Gibraltar Island hosts the Stone Laboratory of Ohio State University,the oldest freshwater field research station in the United States.

The Green Island Light Station is just to the west of South Bass Island.

The historic Green Island lighthouse has been abandoned since its deactivation in 1939, when it was replaced by a nearby skeletal-frame light tower.

Green Island was discovered to have celestite when it was surveyed for a boundary survey in 1820.

Green Island was purchased by the United States Government in 1851, and we are told the lighthouse was constructed in 1854.

Celestite, also known as Celestine, is made of Strontium Sulfate, historically valued as a source of Strontium, and the celestite mined on Green Island became one of the main American sources of strontium minerals, which had industrial uses for things like sugar beet processing and later fireworks.

Next, Middle Bass Island.

Middle Bass Island is also a recreational destination, though is often used as a less-crowded base from which to visit the other islands.

As far as transportation services for Middle Bass Island, it is served by the Miller Boat Line from Catawba Island and the Middle Bass Ferry Line from Put-in Bay, and it has two small airports, one public and one private.

Middle Bass Island was historically-known for its grape cultivation and wine-making, and by 1875, its Golden Eagle Winery was reputed to be the largest wine producer in the United States.

The Lonz Family acquired the winery in 1884, and operated it until 1968.

It continued as one of the largest and most famous wineries in the United States, and was visited by five American Presidents and countless other dignitaries.

While no longer producing or selling wine on-site today , the historic Lonz Winery is owned by the State of Ohio and open for tours.

It is part of the Middle Bass Island State Park.

The nearby Lonz Mansion has been renovated and is open to the public as a house museum and for overnight accommodations.

It was said to have been built in 1884, the same year the family acquired the winery.

Isle St. George, also known as North Bass Island, is the least developed of the Bass Islands, with no ferry access.

Access is limited to private boats or chartered planes, which can land on the island’s airstrip.

It is considered a primitive “getaway,” with no commercial businesses, so visitors must bring their own food and supplies to their vacation rentals and campsites.

Almost 90% of the island is owned by the State of Ohio, featuring protected wetlands and vineyards.

As a matter of fact, the Isle St. George American Viticultural Area (AVA), which was established in 1982, is one of the most unusual wine regions in the United States, shown here on this map of the Ohio AVA along the southern shore of Lake Erie.

We are told the vineyards here are considered special because the island has a longer-growing season because it sits low on Lake Erie and is a heat-reservoir; and the soils are shallow sandy and silty loams over limestone bedrock which drain well.

Commercial grape-growing here dates back to the 1850s, with more than half the island being planted in grapes historically and the island’s primary industry.

Next, Kelleys Island.

Kelleys Island is described as a laid-back, family-friendly destination with scenic nature and three wineries.

It is 4-square-miles, or 10-square-kilometers, in size.

Also accessible by ferry, the island has only a few hundred year-round people at the most, but the population swells to over 5,000 during the summer tourist season, where things like fishing, kayaking and hiking are popular activities.

What is called the “Glacial Grooves State Memorial” on Kelley’s Island were said to have been grooves caused by glaciers carved into limestone thousands of years ago.

No, I don’t believe that but that’s what the official story tells us to believe.

I believe we are looking at the remnants of an ancient advanced civilization of Master Builders that existed worldwide that has been removed from our collective awareness.

Shout-out to Christopher for sending me these photos of the “glacial grooves” from a recent trip to Kelleys Island.

Christopher also sent me photos of what was said to be the ruins of an old winery that he said looks more like a church…

…and part of the shoreline where an old dock used to be.

Historically, Kelleys Island has a long-history of wine-making dating back to the early 1800s, and at one time there were 26 wineries operating here.

Vineyards covered every plantable acre on the island.

The original Kelleys Island Winery was said to have been built in 1872 and was one of the largest wineries east of the Mississippi River, thriving until Prohibition which started in 1920 and lasted until 1933, which affected all of the island’s wineries.

Several wineries reopened after prohibition, but the last one of those had closed in the 1950s.

The Kelleys Island Wine Company brought back the island’s wine-making industry in 1982.

The last island here I am going to take a look at is Pelee Island, which is on the other-side of the International Border with Canada, and part of the Province of Ontario.

It is the southernmost permanently inhabited point in Canada.

Pelee Island is the largest island in Lake Erie, and has one of the warmest climates in Canada, and also a wine region.

The Pelee Island Winery is one of Canada’s largest.

It started modern operations in the 1980s and like the Kelleys Island Wine Company, also helped revive the historic viticulture on Pelee island.

There are a couple of places on and around Pelee Island that I’d like to take a look at – the Stone Road Alvar Nature Reserve; the Lighthouse Point Provincial Nature Reserve; and the Pelee Passage New Lighthouse.

First, the Stone Road Alvar Nature Reserve.

Like we saw back at the Lakeside Daisy State Nature Preserve on Ohio’s Marblehead Peninsula, the Stone Road Alvar Nature Reserve preserves what is called a rare “alvar” ecosystem, which is a habitat where thin soil lies directly over flat, limestone bedrock where only specialized plants and animals can survive.

The reserve protects rare and endangered species like prairie plants not common in Canada; orchids; snakes and reptiles; migratory birds; and butterflys and moths.

Next, the Lighthouse Point Provincial Nature Reserve.

Like Stone Alvar Road, it has rare species of plants and animals, though the land here is classified as wetlands, savannahs, and the remnants of deciduous forests.

It also has a lighthouse that was said to have been built around 1833, and said to be the second-oldest Canadian lighthouse on Lake Erie.

The Pelee Passage New Lighthouse is situated between Point Pelee in Essex County, Ontario and Pelee Island.

The base of the lighthouse stands on a shoal that is 13-feet, or 4-meters, below the surface of the water.

We are told the first lighthouse in the Pelee Passage was built in 1857, but it burned down in 1900.

It was replaced with another lighthouse that lasted until 1975, when it was replaced by the current lighthouse.

A shoal is defined as a place where a body of water is shallow, and where a ridge, bank or bar is close to the surface of the water, and poses a danger to navigation.

Before I move on from the Lake Erie Islands, I would like to mention the incredible fertility of the Great Lakes Region with world-class vineyards, fruit orchards, and farming in general, that I have found and documented throughout this series, particularly around Lakes Michigan, Huron, Ontario, and Erie, and a significant economic driver of the region.

I already knew about the vineyards on the lands in Ontario on both sides of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and the Finger Lakes in New York State, and now I find them on small islands in the middle of Lake Erie.

I suspect the agricultural productivity of this region to be in part due to a connection from the original energy grid system between the railroad, hydroelectric system, and all kinds of agricultural activity, functioning as the original electroculture.

Coming back down to mainland Ohio from the Lake Erie Islands, I am next going to take a look at Port Clinton, the Port Clinton Lighthouse and the nearby Waterworks Park, and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.

First, Port Clinton.

Port Clinton is the county seat of Ottawa County, and located at the mouth of the Portage River.

The Ottawa County Courthouse in Port Clinton was said to have been built between 1898 and 1901 in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural-style.

Four scenes depicting Ottawa County are painted on the ceiling of the rotunda outside the courtroom – “Quarrying;” “Farming;” “Fishing;” and “Fruit Growing.”

Richardsonian Romanesque is an architectural-style described as a “free-revival style, incorporating 11th- and 12th-century southern French, Spanish, and Italian Romanesque characteristics” that was named after Henry Hobson Richardson.

In our historical narrative, Henry Hobson Richardson had a relatively short career, and didn’t even complete his architecture school training in Paris because he lost family backing because of the American Civil War, yet somehow by the time he died at a relatively young age of 47, he left behind a legacy of mind-blowingly ornate architecture!

Henry Hobson Richardson, along with Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, form what is called the “Recognized Trinity of American Architecture.”

I believe they were part of the cover-up, and not the actual architects of what they were credited with, but instead were falsely given credit for what was built by the original advanced civilization.

I went into more detail about this subject in the last part of this series because Frank Lloyd Wright, and even Henry Hobson Richardson, showed up in several places in or near Buffalo.

Port Clinton was established in 1828, and named after DeWitt Clinton, the New York Governor who was credited with being instrumental in the creation of the Erie Canal.

The Erie Canal in New York State, perhaps the most famous of the region, but by far not the only canal, runs for 351-miles, or 565-kilomters, between Lake Erie at Buffalo to the Hudson River near Albany.

It was said to have been constructed starting on July 4th of 1817 and first opened on October 26th of 1825.

In our historical narrative, the opening of the Erie Canal made it the first navigable waterway connecting the Atlantic region to the Great Lakes, and accelerated the settlement of the Great Lakes region, the westward expansion of the United States as it greatly reduced the cost of transporting people and goods across the Appalachian mountains.

According to what we have been told, the Erie Canal was built during the American Canal Age.

We are told the American Canal Age was between 1790 and 1855, and started in Pennsylvania, where the first legislation surveying canals was passed in 1762.

Interestingly, even with the small population of 1,600 reported in 1880, and around 2,000 people in 1890, in 1886, Port Clinton was said to have three newspaper offices, four churches, several businesses including a sawmill, and one bank.

Port Clinton Lighthouse is located in the marina at the northern end of Waterworks Park and is recorded as the shortest lighthouse in Ohio.

We are told it was built in its current form in 1896, and is one of the few surviving wooden lighthouses on the Great Lakes.

It was automated in 1926, then decommissioned soon afterwards.

The structure was moved to a private marina along the Portage River in 1952 instead of being demolished, and in 2016 was moved back to the waterfront in Waterworks Park, and is one of the park’s main attractions.

Waterworks Park was the location of the historic municipal filtration and pumping station.

Today the land formerly occupied by the Municipal Waterworks is a city beach, picnic and recreational area, and fishing destination that hosts the city’s annual “Walleye Festival.”

Port Clinton is nicknamed the “Walleye Capital of the World.”

There is a major railroad bridge crossing in the middle of the Portage River near here.

It is known as the Norfolk Southern Railroad Bridge and is also used by Amtrak.

It was said to have been built in 1915 by the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and is a type of movable bridge known as a single-leaf bascule bridge.

The other movable bridge in Port Clinton is the Monroe Street Bridge, also known as the Port Clinton Lift Bridge or Jackknife Bridge, which is a double-leaf bascule bridge that connects the north and south sides of the city.

It was said to have been built in 1932, which would have been during the Great Depression.

I took an in-depth look at bridges like these, as well as others, in my blog post “The Old World Bridges of the New World.”

I have encountered the incredible engineering of bridges, many of which are still in use today, and many of which are not, throughout the course of my research.

Could these bridges have been constructed when we are told they were constructed by the people credited with their existence, or were they built by a previous advanced civilization unknown to us that actually built the world’s infrastructure?

Some of these bridges were clearly in the style of what we consider Old World architecture, said to have been constructed in the mid-to-late 1800s

Many of these bridges were said to have been built quite recently starting in early 1900s, and quite sophisticated in their design and function.

Next, I am going to take a look at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant.

It is located on the southwest shore of Lake Erie, about 10-miles, or 16-kilometers, north of Oak Harbor, Ohio.

The Nuclear Power Plant only uses 221-acres, or 89-hectares, of its 954-acre, or 386-hectare, site, with 733-acres, or 297-hectares, devoted to the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge.

The entrance to the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area is 5-miles, or 8-kilometers, from it as well.

It is an 894-megawatt nuclear power plant with a single-pressurized water reactor.

It has been the site of several safety incidents, including two of the top five most dangerous nuclear incidents in the U. S since 1979.

It was expected to close in 2020, but remains operational as a result of state legislation that was passed in 2019.

There are a couple of things I would like to make note of here.

The first thing is that I consistently find nuclear power plants in or near wetlands, and this is not an isolated finding by any means.

Like the Blayais Nuclear Power Plant is just a little ways up the right bank of the Gironde Estuary from the Citadel of Blaye in western France, not far from where the long-distance alignment I tracked from Teotihuacan in Mexico to Giza in Egypt enters western Europe in France.

The Blayais Nuclear Power Plant first became operational in 1981.

In December of 1999, parts of the nuclear power plant were flooded when a combination of wind and high-tides overwhelmed the sea-walls at the location, resulting in the loss of the plant’s off-site power supply, and knocked-out several safety-related back-up systems.

It was rated as an “Incident,” a number 2-level event on the “International Nuclear Event Scale.”

Shortly after it happened, it was reported by the regional newspaper as being “very close to a major accident,” which was never contradicted.

There’s also the Surry Nuclear Power Plant located near Jamestown, Virginia.

Together, Jamestown, Yorktown, and Williamsburg form what is called the “Historic Triangle.”

The Hog Island Wildlife Management Area, which includes 50-acres of tidal wetlands, is directly adjacent to where the Surry Nuclear Power Plant is located on Hog Island.

The Surry Nuclear Power Plant has a history of problematic incidents since it became operational in the early 1970s.

There’s also the Savannah River Site in South Carolina.

Among other things, the Savannah River Site was the location where the neutrino was discovered at the “P Reactor.”

A significant portion of the Savannah River Site includes various wetland areas.

We are told the Savannah River Site was constructed in the early 1950s to produce the basic materials used in the fabrication of nuclear weapons.

So, was there actually a conscious decision made to build nuclear powerplants in marshy wetlands?

Or were nuclear powerplants also pre-existing technology that was brought back on-line in the present-day, and not operated safely or cautiously?

The Savannah River Site also has a long-history of environmental contamination.

The second thing I would like to make note of here is that this is the fifth nuclear power plant that I have come across while doing this Great Lakes series, and all have been right on the lakeshore of their respective Great Lakes.

We’ve already seen the Perry Nuclear Power Plant on Lake Erie, which is 40-miles, or 64-kilometers, northeast of Cleveland.

The other four I have encountered were the Darlington Nuclear Power Station in Bowmanville, Ontario, on Lake Ontario; the Nine-Mile Point Nuclear Power Station near Oswego, New York, on Lake Ontario; and the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant in Kincardine, Ontario, on Lake Huron.

I have also encountered numerous other types of power plants next to their respective Great Lakes throughout my in-depth study of this region.

From here, we are coming into the area of the historic Black Swamp, as well as some battle locations during the War of 1812 in our narrative, and I want to focus primarily on Fremont and Perrysburg, and some things about the Black Swamp and Bowling Green.

The first thing I want to talk about this area is in the context of the historic Black Swamp.

US Highway Route 20, crosses along northwestern Ohio at the southern shore of Lake Erie where the historical “Great Black Swamp” was located.

The section of US-20 between Perryburg and Fremont started out as the 31-mile, or 50-kilometer, – long “Maumee & Western Reserve Road,” or “Mud Pike.”

We are told that at the time it was being developed in the late 1700s, what became the “Mud Pike” was the most direct and passable route through what was described as the nearly uninhabitable swampland.

The 1795 Treaty of Greenville had opened the Northwest Territory for settlement, but the Great Black Swamp stood in the way between the newly acquired Northwest Territory and settlers.

It was called the “worst road on the continent” early in its existence for the mud-holes that would trap wagon wheels and draft animals and its slow travel, though it was gradually improved as the swampland was drained in the mid-to-late 19th-century.

I found this newspaper clipping from the Newark Advocate in 1902 in my past research describing a giant skeleton that was found in Bowling Green in northwestern Ohio that was over 8-feet, or 2.5-meters, -tall.

Bowling Green in Ohio is located within the “Great Black Swamp,” between Fort Wayne in Indiana and the southern shore of Lake Erie in northwest Ohio, and is the location of the “Black Swamp Preserve.”

The original Black Swamp was a huge 900,000-acre, or 364,200-hectare, wetland that once covered northwest Ohio, and only a tiny fraction remains today.

The 500-acre, or 202-hectare Black Swamp Preserve in Bowling Green is a protected remnant of the historical swampland, and is accessed by a 13-mile, or 21-kilometer, paved Slippery Elm Trail from Bowling Green to North Baltimore, Ohio.

It is also interesting to note all the historic rail-lines that go through the same area as the Great Black Swamp in Northwest Ohio, circa this 1914 Ohio Public Utilities Commission Railroad map of Ohio, with Bowling Green where the giant skeleton was found circled in red.

The story that accompanies the existence of the railroads is that they were all constructed after the swamp land was drained, and that was what made the construction of the railroads possible.

But I continue to have serious doubts that railroads were constructed by the people who said they built them when they were said to have been built.

My belief falls along the lines that they were already there and being made serviceable once again after the swamp land was drained and/or reclaimed.

US Highway Route 20 also crosses northern Indiana at Lake Michigan where the Indiana Dunes, and co-located marsh wetlands.

The “Great Black Swamp,” on the southern shore of Lake Erie, and the “Indiana Dunes” on the southern shore of Lake Michigan are located geographically quite close together.

The second thing I want to talk about here is the location of some battle locations during the War of 1812 in our narrative, specifically at Fort Stephenson in Fremont and Fort Meigs in Perrysburg.

First, Fort Stephenson.

Here’s what we are told in our historical narrative, keeping in mind that at the same time in the same narrative, this place was supposed to have been muddy and swampy mess.

Fort Stephenson was first built as a stockade and blockhouse in the late spring of 1812, but was abandoned after Detroit was captured by the British and indigenous forces on August 13th of 1812, and was burned to the ground shortly thereafter.

Then in preparation for a campaign to retake Detroit and advance into Upper Canada, several forts were constructed in the area by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1813, including the rebuilding and expansion of Fort Stephenson and the construction of Fort Meigs.

Then the Battle of Fort Stephenson took place on August 2nd of 1813, in which a small American force numbering 160 guarding the fort defeated a much larger number of 1,300 British and indigenous forces.

The American victory here was said to have helped secure American control in northern Ohio.

The cannon from the battle, named “Old Betsy,” was said to have been recovered and is on display at the Birchard Library in Fremont.

The Birchard Library is located on the grounds of the former fort in Fremont, and said to have been built between 1877 and 1879.

Next, Fort Meigs was on the Maumee River in the Perrysburg-area.

In this instance, the British and Indigenous forces failed to capture Fort Meigs in two sieges that took place during the spring and summer of 1813 , which had just been built earlier that same year.

Fort Meigs subsequently became the main American stronghold in the Northwest.

Fort Meigs was the location where the Treaty of Fort Meigs, also called the Treaty of the Maumee Rapids, was signed on September 29th of 1817, and said to be the most significant Indian Treaty in Ohio since the Treaty of Greenville in 1795.

It resulted in the ceding of nearly all the remaining lands in northwestern Ohio, and parts of Indiana and Michigan, of the Wyandot, Seneca, Delaware, Shawnee, Potawatomi, Ottawa, and Chippewa, helping to open up Michigan to settlement by white Americans.

In return, land was allocated for reservations and financial compensation via annuities of various amounts for different lengths of time.

Lewis Cass was one of two commissioners who negotiated the treaty on behalf of the U. S. Government.

Lewis Cass had appointed as the Governor of the Michigan Territory by President James Madison in October of 1813, a position in which he served until 1831.

During this time, he travelled frequently to negotiate treaties with the indigenous peoples in Michigan, in which they ceded substantial amounts of land.

Cass resigned as the Governor of Michigan in 1831 to become President Andrew Jackson’s Secretary of War, a position he would hold for the next 5-years.

As President Jackson’s Secretary of War, Cass was central in implementing the Indian Removal policy of the Jackson administration after Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830.

The Indian Removal Act was directed specifically at the Five Civilized Tribes of the Southeastern United States – the Cherokee, Creeks, Seminole, Chickasaw and Choctaw – though it also affected tribes in Ohio, Illinois and other areas east of the Mississippi River.

Most were forced to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska.

I learned about Lewis Cass when I was researching the State of Michigan in my series on who is represented in the National Statuary Hall at the U. S. Capitol in Washington, DC.

I learned a lot about obscured history and what the official historical narrative tells us about what has taken place here from the research I have done so far on who is represented there.  After having gone through approximately half of the states, I have found that regardless of fame or obscurity, the National Statuary Hall functions more-or-less as a “Who’s Who” for the New World Order and its Agenda..

The State of Michigan is represented by Lewis Cass, as well as Gerald Ford.

Cass joined the Freemasons as an Entered Apprentice, the first degree of Freemasonry, at a lodge in Marietta in 1803 , and by May of 1804, he achieved the Master Mason degree, the third-degree of Freemasonry.

Lewis Cass was a charter member of the Lodge of Amity No. 5 in Zanesville, admitted in June of 1805, and was one of the founders of the Grand Lodge of Ohio in January of 1808, serving as its Grand Master multiple years.

The Freemasons and the Jesuits are at the top of my list as to being the architects of the new historical narrative that was superimposed over the remnants of the original advanced civilization, though undoubtedly there were other contributors.

The location of Fort Meigs was just across the Maumee River from the ruins of what we are told was the old British Fort Miami and the site of the previously-mentioned 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers, which was the final battle of the Northwest Indian War.

And as I said earlier, I typically find star forts in pairs and clusters, which also aligns with the definition of the word battery related to “a device that produces electricity; may have several primary or secondary cells arranged in parallel or series.”

Now we are entering the Toledo area, and first I would like to share some previous research I have done on the area from several years ago.

I was researching places viewers suggested, and one viewer had left me the comment “Check out the Toledo speedway, right next to two large freight yards and a former trolley park which is now a giant ditch.”

This is what I found on Google Earth relate to Toledo Airports and race tracks.

The yellow lines connect airports with race tracks.

The red lines form a triangle between race tracks, and the blue lines from a triangle between the two airports and other race tracks.

I located railyards slightly south of the Toledo Speedway Racetrack, and the best candidate for the former trolley park in the vicinity would be the Willow Beach Amusement Park, where Cullen Park is today.

The Willow Beach Park, which opened in 1929, was a haven for food, games, gambling rides and entertainment at what was known as Point Place.

Setbacks to the park were said to have included the October 1929 stock market crash just months after the park opened in June of 1929…

…a fire in 1932, and permanent park closure in 1947 due to a death on one of the rides.

This photo was taken by someone in 2006 to show what remains of the original amusement park today.

There was another historic amusement park just a short ways up the coast of Lake Erie from Toledo in Ohio, called Toledo Beach.

It was located where the Toledo Beach Marina is today.

We are told the Toledo Light Rail and Power Company bought the Ottawa Beach Resort in 1907, and created the Toledo Beach Amusement Park, and an electric trolley service brought visitors from Ohio into the park.

The trolley also made stops at Lakeside, Lakewood, Allen’s Cove, and Luna Pier along the way to Toledo Beach, the end, also known as terminal, of the streetcar line.

There are two definitions of terminal.

One is: “The end of a railroad or other transport route, or a station at such a point.”

The other is: “A point of connection for closing an electric circuit.”

We are told that the peak of the popularity of the Toledo Beach Park was in the early 1900s, and that attendance slowly declined after the electric interurban trolleys stopped running in 1927.

The Toledo Beach Park had its ups-and-downs over the years, having been shut down during hard economic times, until the amusement park was purchased in 1961 for the land on which the buyer wanted to build a marina.

The Toledo Beach Amusement park was dredged, and the Toledo Park Marina was built and opened in 1962.

Luna Pier and its surrounding community was located Just below Toledo Beach in Michigan, 6-miles, or 10-kilometers, north of Toledo, Ohio.

Luna Pier has a crescent-shaped concrete pier that extends for 800-feet, or 240-meters, reaching about 200-feet, or 61-meters, into Lake Erie.

Luna Pier used to be served by the Canadian National Railway via coal trains that served the J. R. Whiting Generating Plant, which closed in April of 2016 and which has since been demolished.

The J. R. Whiting Generating Plant first opened in 1952, so it was only in use for 64-years.

The same viewer that commented about Toledo also wrote this: “I’ve also wondered what your thoughts might be on the Roche de Boeuf and abandoned Interurban Bridge on the Maumee river. This bridge was part of the Lake Shore line that went to Cleveland.”

He was referring to the Interurban bridge of Waterville, Ohio,which is an historic, concrete, multi-arch bridge, that was said to have been built in 1908 to connect Lucas and Wood counties across the Maumee River.

We are told that at the time of its construction, and for some time thereafter, it was the world’s largest earth-filled, reinforced concrete bridge, and that the decision was made in its construction to rest one of its supports on the historic indian council rock known as Roche de Boeuf near the center of the Maumee river, but that unfortunately during its construction the rock was partially destroyed.

As I have been talking about in this post and throughout this series, interurbans were a type of electric railway with self-propelled rail-cars running between cities or towns not only in North America but found worldwide.

They were prevalent in North America starting in 1900, and by 1915, interurban railways in the United States were operating along, 15,500-miles, or 24,900-kilometers of track.

By 1930, however, most of the interurbans were gone, with a few surviving into the 1950s.

The Lima-Toledo Railroad would combine with two other Ohio interurbans in 1929– the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, and the Indiana, Columbus and Eastern. This merge formed the 323-mile, or 520-kilometer, -long Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad, providing service from Toledo to Cincinnati.

Then the Great Depression hit the Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad hard; this would soon bring an early end to operations.

With a collapsing national and local economy throughout the 1930s, things were headed for the worst.

It was seen as far more convenient, and cost-efficient to carry cargo by way of truck and other automobiles.

So by 1937, only 29 years after beginning operation, C&LE was no more, and the bridge has sat unused to this day.

What are my thoughts?

The Maumee River Interurban bridge looks way older than 113-years-old.

And why build a sophisticated, self-propelled electric street-car system, only to use it for 29-years and replace it trucks and cars?

Well, the most obvious answer is that the mass production of gasoline-powered private and public transportation provided another form of transportation for people and provided a highly lucrative means of generating wealth for the big corporations involved in the transportation industry.

Non-polluting and low-fare electric-streetcar-systems were simply no longer needed or wanted.

Next, I am going to take a look at several places in the Lake Erie, Toledo Harbor, and Maumee Bay around Toledo.

I’m going to start with the lighthouses I’ve identified in the area, starting with the lighthouse on West Sister Island.

The West Sister Island Lighthouse is located about 8-miles, or 13-kilometers, north of Oak Harbor, Ohio, the location of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.

Still an active automated lighthouse, it was said to have been built in 1848, and one of the oldest lighthouses on the Great Lakes.

It is 55-feet, or 17-meters, tall, and made out of limestone and brick.

We are told the lighthouse-keepers house was destroyed during World War II in the 1940s when the U. S. Army used the island for artillery training.

These days, West Sister Island is protected as the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and closed to the public to protect nesting birds.

It has the largest heron and egret rookery in the U. S. Great Lakes.

Directly to the west of West Sister Island, there are three more lighthouses: the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse; Turtle Island Lighthouse and Luna Pier Lighthouse.

The Toledo Harbor Lighthouse is described as a “Romanesque-looking structure” that stands 64-feet, or 20-meters, -tall at the entrance to Toledo Shipping Channel.

It was said to have been built between 1901 and 1904 to replace the 1837 Turtle Island lighthouse.

The Toledo Harbor Lighthouse’s original 3.5-Order Fresnel lens is on display at the Maumee Bay State Park Lodge.

The Turtle Island Lighthouse is described as a deactivated and ruined lighthouse on a privately-owned island in Lake Erie on the border between Ohio and Michigan near Toledo.

We are told it was established in 1831 to guide ships into Maumee Bay and abandoned after the construction of the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse.

The Luna Pier Lighthouse is at the previously-mentioned Luna Pier, which is in the State of Michigan.

It is described as a 35-foot, or 11-meter, -tall decorative beacon that was constructed in 2012 to serve as a non-navigational scenic landmark at the entrance to the Luna Pier.

Though references to it are hard-to-find, I did find one saying that the current Luna Pier Lighthouse was designed to evoke an earlier lighthouse associated with Luna Pier.

To the southwest of these three lighthouse structures, we have the Erie Marsh Preserve and the Lost Peninsula on Maumee Bay, both of which are in the State of Michigan.

The Erie Marsh Preserve is located in North Maumee Bay and at over 2,000-acres, or over 800-hectares, in size is one of the largest marshes on Lake Erie.

It represents 11% of southeastern Michigan’s remaining marshland.

It supports migratory and nesting birds of all kinds, and is open to the public from January 2nd to August 31st.

The Lost Peninsula is called a small “exclave” of the State of Michigan as it is surrounded by the State of Ohio.

This is what we are told about the “Lost Peninsula.”

It was created as a result of the “Toledo War,” which was a boundary dispute in 1835 and 1836 over whether or not Ohio or Michigan would control an area called the “Toledo Strip.”

After the “Toledo War,” the state border was established just north of the mouth of the Maumee River, at the 41-Degree, 44-Minute North line-of-latitude.

This gave the city of Toledo and Maumee River to the State of Ohio, but the state line continued across the smaller Ottawa River, and divided the peninsula on the far-side of the river.

This resulted in a division of the land in which the “Lost Peninsula” became part of the State of Michigan.

Coincidentally…or not…the 41-Degree, 44-Minute North line-of-latitude was historically significant as the reported position of the “Titanic” when it sank.

The “Lost Peninsula” has a population of somewhere between 100 and 200 people.

It is part of Erie Township, Michigan, and residents must travel through Ohio to get to Michigan, including students for public school attendance.

Directly south of the “Lost Peninsula,” we come to Cullen Park and Grassy Island.

Cullen Park was the historical location of the previously-mentioned Willow Beach Amusement Park.

Located on the western shore of the Maumee River, today it is a public park known for its boat-launches and it is an official stop on the “Lake Erie Birding Trail.”

The park is known for its long and narrow causeway that goes out toward Grassy Island that people hike for a variety of reasons, including bird-watching and sunset-viewing.

The causeway’s trail is described as uneven and muddy, with driftwood, poison ivy and flooding depending on the water-level.

This is what we are told about Grassy Island.

It wasn’t originally a natural island in its current form, but an island that was created from dredged material from the Maumee River Shipping Channel during the 20th-century.

Over-time, vegetation took over and it became an important habitat for birds and marsh wildlife.

Cullen Park is located in the Point Place neighborhood on the far north-side of Toledo.

Historically, Point Place was a place known for being a resort and amusement destination for Toledo residents during the streetcar and early automobile era from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s.

They would go to places like the Willow Beach Amusement Park; dance halls; and casino-style entertainment venues, like the Lake Erie Park and Casino.

The Lake Erie Park and Casino operated at today’s Bayview Park, and said to have been built in 1895.

It was a major entertainment and trolley destination in Toledo until it burned down in 1910.

These days the Bayview Yacht Club is located at Bayview Park, as is the Toledo Yacht Club, the Bayview Retirees Golf Course, and Point Place Lighthouse.

Bayview Park is directly adjacent to Detwiler Park, which has a renowned 18-hole golf course; recently renovated baseball diamonds; and a 24-acre, or 10-hectare wetland marsh.

Like the Luna Pier Lighthouse, the Point Place Lighthouse is described as an ornamental landmark in Bayview Park, offering scenic views of Maumee Bay and Lake Erie.

It was said to have been completed in 2008, and is a popular tourist attraction.

Interesting to note that right across the Maumee Shipping Channel, from the apparently exclusive Point Place neighborhood, is a heavily industrialized area, with the Harborview Yacht Club located on the east-side of the industrial area.

The industrial area at the entrance to the Maumee River is one of the historically most important shipping and heavy-industry zones on the Great Lakes.

The lower river and harbor area became lined with refineries, grain elevators, steel mills, power plants, and rail and shipping terminals.

Historically and still today even, the Lower Maumee Estuary faces significant pollution from industrial contaminants, combined sewer overflows, and phosphorus from agricultural run-off.

As always, there is a lot more to find here, but I am going to go ahead and end this post here.

I will pick-up the journey at Monroe in Michigan just north of the Luna Pier and Toledo Beach area in my next post, and continue to make my way around Lake Erie.
