The Black Rock was first introduced in Episode 1x15, Homecoming.
Claire dreams of a black rock, and Sayid remembers that a black rock is mentioned in the French woman's maps (Ep: 1x15, Homecoming).
When Locke needs dynamite to blow open the hatch, The French Woman, Danielle Rousseau, leads them to the Black Rock, which turns out to be an old, land-locked slave ship (Ep: 1x23, Exodus Part 1).
In 1996, Desmond goes to find Charles Widmore. Charles is at an auction. The auctioneer says, "The Black Rock set sail from Portsmith, England March 22, 1845 on a trading mission when she was tragically lost at sea. The only known artifact of this journey is the journal of the ship's first mate, discovered among the artifacts of pirates seven years later. The contents of this journal have never been made public nor are known to anyone outside the family of the seller,TOVARD HANSO! We open the bidding on lot 2342 at 150,000 pounds." Charles continues to bid until he wins the journal for 380,000 pounds..
Found that on another website...Basically, whoever was the Captain of the Black Rock, was either one of the following:
A so called "slave ship", which could actually be someone who started or founded the Hanso Foundation, even though they claim its Alvar Hanso who started it. Tovard Hanso could be a long distance familty memeber, or maybe even he could of been a Pirate who has a LOST treasure map to the fountain of youth. (the island/temple)
Then you have Magnus Hanso the owner of the ship: Check this out
Albertus Magnus was a German philosopher and theologian.
* Magnus was one of the greatest alchemists of all time, and was also the discoverer of the legendary "Philosopher's Stone" (which could allegedly be combined with certain metals to create a youth-preserving elixir; that would make its general objective similar to that of the Life Extension Project) and the creator of a supernatural device, an automaton which he named "Android." Using the "angels from the netherworld" and the powers of the Philosopher's Stone, he created "metals and material unknown to this world" and chose them "according to the stars and planets." This "android" was instilled with the powers of speech, thought, and according to some reports, a soul. Upon completion of this project, his student St. Thomas Aquinas destroyed the "diabolic being" and denounced it as "a tool of Satan and a blasphemy to God."
o The "android" could be linked to the Security System.
The fountain of youth may be the gateway to another entrance of the Temple, which Jack dives under into, which we saw on the preview of last weeks episode.
We know that Richard Alpert worked, or claimed he worked for milletos bioscience. Richard even arranged for Juliets Ex husband to be thrown under a bus and killed so Juliet could come to the insland and practice fertility on the woman...
Who knows, maybe Richard Alpert is Magnus Hanso...EIther way, i think the islands exsistence has to do with that Foundation. Im probably way off, and make no sense,but you never know.
