 SHIP OF GOLD IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA

By Gary Kinder. The riveting true adventure and discovery of a gold-laden shipwreck and the scientific genius who recovered its treasure, while breaking the barriers of deep-ocean exploration.

In September 1857, the S.S. Central America, carrying 500 passengers and tons of gold from the California mountains, sunk in a hurricane 200 miles off the Carolina coast. Lost in legend for more than a century, the tragic story of this shipwrecked steamer resurfaced in 1989 when Tommy Thompson, an ocean engineer, sailed into Norfolk harbour with over ten tons of pioneer gold. Using a combination of oceanography, computer science and information theory, Thompson's team recovered mint-state coins, antique bars, and sparkling gold dust from 8,000 feet below the surface of the sea — proving everyone wrong, who had said it couldn't be done.
Ship of Gold was written over a ten-year period by Gary Kinder. We here at WaybillToAdventure.com are so convinced of the importance of this technological treasure feat that we are stating: This book must be added to the MUST READ list of any aspiring seeker of bonanzas.


There are several primary topics in this book, of major importance to you, the treasure hunter:
  • Tommy Thompson's search for — and recovery of — the gold aboard the wreck of the SS Central America... over 8,000 feet below the surface of the waters, off the coast of the Carolinas.
  • Thompson builds a diverse team to do the amazing project.
  • He manages to find enough investment to do the expensive task.
  • There are amounts of research to gather and analyze.
  • There is an astonishing development of new technology to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks.
  • Almost piratical competitors try to horn in on the project.

From the California gold strikes, to the legal victories in court over those who wished to take away the recovered gold... this level of high intrigue and Thompson's triumph make this book required reading for anyone who has hopes of successful treasure recovery.

The 507-page book is almost impossible to put down. Kinder has done an outstanding job of weaving a white-knuckle sea disaster with a modern tale of entrepreneurism into a darned excellent book!

Terrific price at only $14.97!. Limited supply!

Be sure to read the next entry in this report, as it is a companion to this book. A Review of Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea is a deeply thoughtful writing by H. Glenn Carson, and his encounter with the treasure hunting truths and value in this magnificent book. It is also available as a free download, in E-Book format.

Also be sure to check out BONANZA SEEKERS' HANDBOOK, by H. Glenn Carson. This is his newest book — October 2003 — and covers cache hunting for high-ticket items. It is a perfect companion book to Ship of Gold.

 TOMMY THOMPSON'S — AMERICA'S LOST TREASURE

By Tommy Thompson. Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea nudged more than one evening's reading into the dark morning hours. Tommy Thompson's America's Lost Treasure takes things one giant leap even further down the road to what could be considered THE Treasure Tale of the 20th Century. This book is a fantastic history lesson, two exciting and intertwined adventure stories, and a picture text on how to do new and wonderful things. It is a coffee-table companion to Gary Kinder's Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea, and neither book is really complete without the other.
Purchase America's Lost Treasure
The awesome pictures in America's Lost Treasure are exactly what the numismatic world has been clamoring for since the discovery and beginning of the salvage of the SS Central America first hit the news in 1988. The lavish use of 19th century pictures, drawings, and accounts of the sailing and sinking of the SS Central America add to the careful archaeological records of the search and salvage of her wreck. But far the most impressive thing in this book are the stunning pictures of the tons of gold coins and bars both scattered on the deep ocean floor and arranged for display after recovery. For an entertaining and educational read and two great adventure stories — one in 1857 and one in the 1980s — I highly recommend both America's Lost Treasure by Tommy Thompson and Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea by Gary Kinder.

    Reviews

    5 out of 5 stars For the Scientist, Historian and Preservationist
    Bravo! This is an excellent book. It showcases the ability of science, history and preservation to complement each other. Combined with ''Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea,'' one appreciates the manner in which lives were touched by the tragedy and the recovery. The entrepreneurial drive that resulted in a skillful, scientific recovery of the ship is motivational. The pictures may make it real, but one's imagination and holistic understanding make it compelling.


    5 out of 5 stars The Picture Companion to Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea
    Tommy Thompson is one methodical scientist. He found a ship that sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1857 that had eluded searchers for 130 years. He has taken the same methodical approach in creating this book ''America's Lost Treasure.''

    Gary Kinder wrote a 1998 bestseller on Thompson's search entitled ''Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea.'' It is one of the best pageturners I have ever read! More amazing is that it actually happened! The ship was the United States Mail Steamship ''Central America'' which was making rounds between the Atlantic coast of Panama and New York City during the California Gold Rush era. She was a side paddlewheeler steamship and was hauling a huge cargo of gold ingots, freshly minted gold coins, gold nuggets, and gold dust along with 38,000 pieces of mail and 578 passengers.

    Much of the gold was being brought to New York to shore up the bullion holdings of banks that had been putting out too much paper money without the available gold reserves to back it. Most of the passengers were returning from the Gold Rush; many were women and children. The ship sank after a heroic battle with a hurricane in 1857 off the Carolinas taking about 425 lives with her and all the gold.

    Both books chronicle Thompson's epic adventure finding the ship and recovering the gold down 8000 feet underwater where even the US Navy couldn't effectively recover items. Kinder's book clocks in at over 500 riveting pages but, is largely without pictures of all the incredible finds. ''America's Lost Treasure'' fills in that photographic void quite admirably in its 186 pages.

    ''America's Lost Treasure'' is broken down into a background history of America at the time leading up to the Central America's sinking, a detailed account of the CA's fateful last voyage, a background of the equipment and people involved in the search and rediscovery of the CA, the discovery of the ship and the 'Garden of Gold,' a review of the personal items found at the bottom other than the gold, and a section on the other scientific discoveries made at the site such as decay processes and new species of life found.

    There are hordes of very appropriate photographs that perfectly illustrate the topic discussed in the very readable and concise narration. The page layout is very well done and makes full use of the book's ten inches by ten inches size. Particularly interesting is the discovery and opening of several intact passenger's trunks revealing intact clothing and still visible photographs! The gold, however, is the expected showstopper.

    Overall, I can't recommend this book enough when read in companion with ''Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea.'' Some people will bristle with disfavor on the efforts in general to recover items from this wreck feeling it is a desecration of history and wrong. I couldn't help but be astounded by the disciplined and rigorous scientific and engineering skills put on display in the efforts.

    This is an absolutely fascinating pictorial account of a remarkable period in the history of America. It will rivet your attention from beginning to end and have you looking back at sections again and again. It is one of the best coffee table books in existence. The lost treasure found is truly breathtaking and this book is an absolutely worthy account of it! VERY highly recommended!


    5 out of 5 stars Hard to not read from beginning to end on 1st opening
    Having read ''Ship of Gold in Deep Blue Sea,'' I was thrilled to find out there was a ''picture'' book of same story! And ordered it right away. Pictures are absolutely captivating. I hope Tommy Thompson will salvage another, and this time do a book, picture book and video.

    Strange Ideas About Treasure Hunting
    ~by Glenn Carson

    (from his article, ''How Others Look At Treasure Hunting,''
    from Western & Eastern Treasure Magazine, October 2003)

    Let's face it, the majority of people are not involved with treasure hunting. Indeed, most of them have some rather strange ideas about treasure hunting, if they even think about it at all... Tales of such activities were doctored up in fiction, and soon enough most people simply believed that treasure, all of them, were largely fictional as well.

    Frankly most of the treasure books available to those hoping to find treasure are merely some of these tales pulled from skimpy sources, put together without a great deal of research, and as is — not too helpful to those who read those pages.

    More importantly, what most of those who read those pages do not understand is that such tales are merely starting places and almost always require additional information to be of any real help.

    You or I may find a particular story very interesting, but if it is not studied and fleshed out, it will forever remain only an interesting story, not an actual lead.

    ~ Glenn

    ===

    Why have we included this excerpt in this newsletter concerning the almost unbelievable but extremely TRUE and well-researched Tommy Thompson saga? There are a number of reasons, and a whole lot of ''ties'' between Thompson's adventure and the realization of not only his own dream but the dream of thousands of would-be treasure hunters.

    Two of the core concepts are 1) the existence of a legend, a story, based on a piece of historical evidence is not enough to call it a lead nor will it most likely end in a successful treasure hunting cache retrieval, and 2) a tremendous amount of reseach from a persistent individual with vision, and a willingness to perform even extraordinary amounts of research and setup can and will make things happen, with greatly increased chances that treasure recovery will be made.

    Our precise reason for highlighting Ship of Gold lies in these concepts. This is not just an exciting tale. Thompson — as any of us are capable of doing — has taken legend and stripped it of the fantasy and the misplaced, incorrect ''facts'' that the story picked up over the years. What is left is nothing less than a BLUEPRINT for you, for me, for anyone truly DESIRING to distill the true facts out of any given ''interesting story'' and turn it into ... a successful venture.

    The benefits to you in owning Thompson's story are endless. Aside from the technology and history of this piece of history, this step-by-step view of such a highly successful treasure retrieval needs to be a part of your arsenal. Like many excellent books, the re-reading of the book will reveal new things with each reading, as you advance in your own steps to a higher level of success in your hunting endeavors. We highly recommend this book.

    ~ Leanne

    Highlighting A Waybill Reader —
    Metal Detecting & The Internet

    THE-GOLD-SCOPE.COM
    A Treasure Hunting Vision — Now A Reality

    Review by Leanne C. Boyd

    Up until a few months ago, William Belveal had a wonderful vision
    for a metal detecting accessory, and he had the prototype he'd built. But he didn't have ''a plan'' in place. The Placer Gold Scope 2000 is an impressive piece of metal detecting paraphernalia! It is a high-tech solution for an ages-old problem, with or without a detector. HOW do you locate items when they are at the bottom of a body of water? Whether it is stream, river, or even ocean... the element of water puts yet another difficult layer of disguise on hidden and lost items!

    When I first started speaking with William, it was evident he'd done a huge amount of work on the Scope, not just in building the mechanism, but also in doing his research! He had already spoken with the patent office and with the necessary ''legaleze'' — enough to know that he had a lot of work yet left to do, in order to realize his dream of making The Gold Scope available to the treasure hunting community.

    William contacted me shortly after becoming a member of the Waybill To Adventure community, inquiring about Web design — everything from the costs of taking a business online, to his expanded vision for his device, which had much to do with his life's history and WHY he was involved in a treasure hunting field to begin with. There was a lot of conversation that went on, in getting to know William and the history of The Gold Scope 2000.

    Hosting changes taking place and some viewers are still seeing the old site. Thanks!
    You may still contact The-Gold-Scope.com with the E-Mail addresses in this Review.

    This was very important, as these steps allowed me to become familiar with the technical background of the Scope, as well as being able to view, first-hand, the steps one individual has taken in the pathway toward a business success. And yes, after these months of working with Gold Scope issues... William's dream IS a business success. As time passes and his Internet and land-based presence grow, I project only success for this man and his vision.

    William describes his metal detecting accessory in this way: ''It is the missing link for searching in the streams and water along the shores with your metal detector. Now you will know what your search coil has passed over!'' I invite you to visit William's Web site, at www.The-Gold-Scope.com. I think you will quickly agree that he has a unique product and has now implemented a unique plan for reaching out to the treasure hunting community.

    QUOTE OF THE DAY

    When we are mindful of every nuance of our natural world,
    we finally get the picture: that we are only given one
    dazzling moment of life here on Earth, and we must stand
    before that reality both humbled and elevated, subject to
    every law of our universe and grateful for our brief but
    intrinsic participation with it. (From her biography of
    naturalist Eustace Conway.)

    ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
