King George VI Recognized The Project
After a couple of failed attempts, Gilbert Hedden was in a position where the lack of substantial findings didn’t justify the huge financial investment he was putting into the project. Things weren’t going so well and in 1938, Hedden put his project to a stop. Nevertheless, Hedden felt like he deserved some sort of recognition for his efforts and managed to contact King George VI. The mystery of Oak Island had never reached such a high profile name.
