A subtle connection of Blackrock to the current scenario
Not a big theory or anything, at least I dont think. Not much to go on, just food for thought. We know Blackrock has a major role in Lost, presumably the journal, which may lead the reader to the island. And whoever the hell the capitan was (please, if you guess, cool, if you know, please state where this was said) along with the crew. But what about the island. Is there anything at all, that would be kind of nuts to find out, that may have been right in front of us and we missed.
I am thinking, we saw the ship, and a bit of the inside, but what did we not see that you would think we would. Wouldnt the Losties want to see if there was anything salvagable in the ship other than explosives? I think we were slightly led away for a reason not uncovered yet.
I was thinking, what did Ben have to do to move the island…thats right, turn a wheel. It very much resembled a wheel that would have been on an old ship, so hey, why not the only ship we have seen on the island. Was it big, hell yes it was big. Back in the times of Blackrock wouldnt it have been necessary to have a larger than normal wheel to steer a ship of that size?
Here is a link with a picture of the wheels used back then. http://www.moah.org/exhibits/archives/modelships/elements.html
I am not really sure what, if anything this would mean, but hell, its fun a tidbit, that I have always believed to be true., and may lead to something more important.
Let me know what you think.
I know that “black rock” (besides the name we know ofthe ship) resembles a kind of rock (black, duh!?) that supposedly is in all of the undergrounds of the island, and is that which we see in the hatch inide the concrete which atracts metal (Jack’s key). It is a rock with electromagnetic properties,I think it is the same as the Magnetita (the rock for which electromagnetic properties were discovered).
I heard somewhere all of these,don’t know if it’s tue or not.

This page gives all the information you need and more. To summarize, the ship is owned and operated by Magnus Hanso
I love that idea………the wheel does look like one from an ancient ship …..great discovery!!!
Hi AES, good point you make. Furthering Mamey’s line of thinking, we know ‘The Black Rock’ was a slave ship.
It was also carrying a large cache of gold.
The ‘wheel’ to me is reminiscent of what I have seen slaves in movies such as The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur, use to move rock!
I think your right. The wheel that once navigated a slave ship, Now navigates an Island through time. Nice read.
I’ve got a guess about who the Black Rock’s captain could be!
We know Charles Widmore is a Black Rock fanatic. We also know he likes his whiskey, especially MacCutcheon. In the season three episode “Flashes Before your Eyes,” Widmore tells Desmond Anderson MacCutcheon was an “esteemed Admiral from the Royal Navy. He retired with more medals than any man before or since — moved to the highlands to see out his remaining years.”
What if MacCutcheon was the captain!? We know bottles of MacCutcheon end up on the island, why not the real MacCutcheon?
This isn’t much of a theory granted there is no real evidence, but an interesting thought nonetheless.
Good call DC. Ive never been big on the capian or the blackrock really. But that is a great and unique “THEORY” hint hint wink…run with it
