Amidst the chaos of the 19th-century gold rush, the SS Central America embarked on a journey laden with hope and dreams. Carrying over 400 passengers and crew members, along with a bounty of gold nuggets and freshly minted $20 gold coins from the San Francisco mint, the ship set sail from the bustling port of San Francisco bound for New York.

However, fate intervened in the form of a violent hurricane off the Carolina coast in September 1857. The tempestuous seas proved too much for the vessel to withstand, leading to its tragic demise. Within hours, the SS Central America, along with its precious cargo and the lives of hundreds aboard, was swallowed by the depths of the ocean.
