The gold was in the form of ingots, bars, coins, nuggets, and dust, and totaled some 2 Million dollars (~$300 million in today's value). The ship arrived safely in Panama City at which point the gold was then sent by train to then be loaded into storage on the SS Central America. Making its way through the Gulf of Mexico and up the east coast of the United States, the ship encountered unrelenting category 2 hurricane-force winds, ultimately succumbing to forces that fractured the ship sending it down some 7-8,000 feet and 200 miles off the Carolina coast. Only 153 of the 578 people on board survived to make footing back onto American soil, a catastrophic loss of life. Further, the loss of such a large corpus of California gold triggered the first world financial crisis, known as: THE PANIC OF 1857 It would not be until some 130 years later (1987) when Bob Evans, the Chief Scientist of the SS Central America discovery team, discovered the greatest American treasure ever lost and then found. The first expedition in 1987 recovered an amazing 50 pounds of gold dust, 10,000 gold coins, and 577 monetary ingot gold bars. A second recovery expedition took place in 2014 and netted 15,000 gold and silver coins, 45 gold bars, hundreds of nuggets, and gold dust.
