America's lost Treasure is a pictorial account of the sinking and recovery of the United States Mail Steamship Central America, a story that was the subject of The New York Times best-seller, Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea. The sinking of the Central America in a hurricane in 1857, was America's worst peacetime sea disaster; in addition to many tons of gold, 425 men were lost. The ship was recovered in 1989, in an operation that developed the most groundbreaking marine-recovery technology in existence, a dramatic triumph that made new law and opened the planet's last frontier to mankind. Now, in more than 250 stunning illustrations and photographs, most of them never before seen, America's lost Treasure tells the amazing story of the tragic voyage and discovery.
