Field notes
The page is organized as an investigation: a chronology, reconstructed artifacts, a modern “real legend” section, and an invitation to file sightings or request a verdict. It explicitly labels the ancient and historical exhibits fictional, including a generated Renaissance-style manuscript and a purported 1868 image made with Mike’s modern likeness; it distinguishes those from real photographs of the friend. The lore also hangs on maritime details, from a Jersey Shore marina to the “Guardian of the Sacred Log.”
