SHIP OF GOLD BOOK
Larry Gaye writes: "I don't know if anyone has brought this
book up or not, but here goes. I highly recommend "Ship of
Gold in the Deep Blue Sea" by Gary Kinder. It is the blow by
blow account of the salvage endeavor of the SS Central
America from start to finish.It goes into great detail how the equipment was developed,
how the investors were courted and how the operation
evolved. Side by side with the salvage endeavor there is an
excellent account of the the people involved in her last voyage
and how their lives were forever changed when the ship went
down. You have the feeling that you have a wonderful
portal into the past and a birds/fish eye view of the salvage
operation.There are absolutely no photos or drawings of the operation.
In some ways it makes the story more dramatic and lets your
mind fill in the necessary images. I was thoroughly enthralled
by the tale. Now some really good news, the book only cost
me $8.98 new. I purchased it from Powells here in Portland,
Oregon. It is currently in stock with Powells and here is a link
to look for it. So check it out, it is a wonderful read.

again. A great book and great story. See The E-Sylum v2n32
