Civil War Gold

Product Description

In 1865, a ship carrying about 90 people and lots of gold sunk. This work concerns trying to find and re-capture those objects. For those not interested in marine engineering, there's a human aspect. This mentions the lives of two men, one white and the other Black, who were on the ship and why. I'm from the Chicagoland area and this work explains how Maywood, IL got its name. They pull artefacts, like food and writing utensils, that point to the lives of those on board. They show a 5th-generation ancestor of one of the men on board looking at these items. They find the gold half way through the work. I'm a big believer in not letting money go to waste, so I'm glad they met their mission. They found about 54 million dollars in coins. I hope they put it to good use. There is an emphasis on the challenges of this pursuit. Things cost 25,000$ per day to conduct. At one point, their "Snoop Dog" (I get that term from the film "Titanic") malfunctions. It shows that 100 plus years later, we are not immune to accidents at sea. Speaking of Titanic, when I think of shipwrecks, I think of tragedy and most folk dying. Here, they said 2/3 of the people survived. The passengers were set adrift for five days. Luckily, this doesn't focus too much on their starving and not being able to drink the salt water surrounding them, etc. Near the end, they show an actual rainbow about the waters. I think that was a scenic way to express "mission accomplished"!
