Nova Scotia History __ "The Sinclair Society in Nova Scotia and various fans of the Knights Templar \ Holy Grail story propose the following historical scenario: ... In 1393, Henry Sinclair, Prince of the Orkney Islands, sent a Venetian admiral, Nicolo Zeno, to carry out a survey of Greenland, in preparation for their journey to the New World. Before embarking on what was considered a risky endeavor, Sinclair made provisions for transferring some of his lands to his brothers and eldest daughter."
