We are delighted to offer a real adventure with quite a nautical history, Searching for the SS Central America.

The sinking of the wooden hull steamship, the SS Central America, during an East Coast hurricane in 1857 was America’s worst peacetime sea disaster, claiming a loss of 425 lives and over 3 tons of California gold. Alan Scott, a young member of the Columbus America Discovery Group was the sonar expert who discovered the ship in 1988. The adventure recovering the gold treasure from America’s past is even more complex! PSCC member Alan Scott will highlight this adventure with undersea video, images of marine life, shipwreck artifacts and recovered treasures.
