Description



Category: treasure hunting

Boats: SS Central America is the main ship but there's a very capable ROV

Heroes: Tommy Thompson, engineer and leader of the whole adventure

Location: USA, Midwest and offshore East Coast

Synopsis: Highly recommended story of the very capable Tommy Thompson and his multi-year quest to find and recover the treasure of the Central America. Provides insight into modern treasure hunting including fund raising, and legal and engineering issues. There's not a great deal of technical detail on the ROV but I didn't miss it here.
