Synopsis
In September 1857, the SS "Central America" sank 200 miles off the Carolina coast, taking tons of California gold to the bottom of the Atlantic. In 1989, a salvage crew led by Tommy Thompson rescued much of the treasure, using a combination of oceanography, computer science, and information theory, in what has been described as the greatest treasure recovery of all time.

Publisher's Note
With nail-biting suspense, Kinder reconstructs the terror of the 19th-century steamer "Central America's" last days and chronicles the oceanographic quest for the lost vessel.
Industry reviews
"'Ship of Gold' is a marvelous tale, with generous portions of history, adventure, intrigue, heroism and high technology interwoven. Shipwrecks make for enthralling reading; adventure stories have been a mainstay of literature since 'The Odyssey'; tales of individual heroism ditto; and Gary Kinder can join Jules Verne, Bob Ballard and Tom Clancy in making underwater technology thrilling." Los Angeles Times Book Review - Richard Ellis (05/31/1998) "Sounds like a great book--peril and death at sea, coupled with a detective story in which a colorful American finds a way to recover a king's ransom from the ocean floor. Alas, 'Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea' is not a great book....The main trouble is that...[the book] is a paradox: a once-over-lightly treatment that goes on, and on....[T]he book is twice as long and only half as good as it ought to be." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Carl Nolte (06/28/1998) "...Kinder conns his literary vessel admirably, in fluent command of fascinating detail, judicial ramifications and a disparate crew....[T]he author writes beautifully--historical and technological reporting of a high order, as suspenseful and deft about the doomed steamer as the salvage vessels. 'Ship of Gold...' is a 24-carat sea classic." New York Times Book Review - John Maxtone-Graham (07/12/1998) "Though the story it tells is very much a testament to Tommy Thompson's pioneering work in deep-ocean recovery, 'Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea' is, at its heart, an old-fashioned seafaring adventure, awash in brine and vigor." Washington Post Book World - Jennifer Howard (08/30/1998)
