Theories about Helgus Antonius

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

• This is Naomi's ship. And is owned by the Hanso Foundation, who can't find the island now that the communication is down. They are on there way now.
• This ship will crash on the island in Lost Season 4.
  • Unlikely, as the Helgus Antonius was launched in 2006, while Lost Season 4 takes place in early 2005.
    • But the nature of time on the island has been called into question, so the ship could still crash on the island at some point.
  • It could still happen, if the time line of the Lost Experience and LOST are consistant. The ship was build in 2001. In 2005 it "rescues" the survivors of flight 815, then it returns to Europe where the Spider Protocol is prepared.
    • Unlikely, as Mittelwerk had considerable difficulties to retrieve the location of the island.
• The ship could have been built for The Hanso Foundation by Mr. Paik and Paik Heavy Industries.
• The ship may be full of DHARMA crew being transported between projects.
• The ship is carrying Alvar Hanso to the island.
  • Mittelwerk (From Rachel Blake Italy 02 mic recording): "Hanso is totally onboard."
• "Antonius" is the Latin origin of the name Antony, as in Marcus Antonius (="Mark Antony"). Antonius is therefore the name of an important Roman political dynasty. Mark Antony claimed that his family originated with a son of Hercules called Anton, i.e., that they were descendants of an immortal bloodline.
• "Helgus" possibly derives from German and Scandanavian words for "holy."
  • The name "Helgus Antonius" alludes to the notion of a powerful family which views itself, perhaps falsely, as descended from a special ("holy" or even immortal) ancestry.
    • The name refers to the notion that the Widmore family, who may have built the ship in collaboration with the Hanso Foundation, constitute a powerful dynasty, descended from a "great" man as alluded to by Charles Widmore during his interview with Desmond.
    • The name refers to the Hanso dynasty, and Alvar or Magnus Hanso as a great man deemed "holy" or "immortal."
• The map snapped by Rachel Blake supposedly showing the destination of the Helgus Antonius is in fact a map of the Island. It shows a lake in the north, similar to the lake in the barracks where the Galaga submarine is moored.
  • The Helgus Antonius is en route to the island, retracing the last known route of Magnus Hanso's Black Rock.
