I read the book... Nobody thought it would ever be found, let alone be able to recover it. Hats off to Tommy Thompson!!! I saw an ad once in readers digest where you could purchase the actual $20 gold coins!
I remember this discovery from Life magazine. Truely amazing, 3800 feet deep. 1.5 miles deep. A very high tech recovery operation. The pressure at that depth is impossible for humans. A very nice discovery indeed! Thanks for sharing this amazing work.
Fantastic video, lots of patience to recover it. Bet the guy was sweating big time doing the recovery even if he had fans and air conditioning blasting on him.
Loved it ,but hey the reason I spent 20 golden minutes of my life was waiting to see what was actually recovered up close on deck you know everyone doing high 5s and shit,and you end the fucking video as soon as the thing gets on deck?
I always wish what's the SS Central America shipwreck and gold coins bars does you know it I always want to see what it does it look like underwater in the Deep
If anyone knows, why are there so many “recent” comments on this older video? I came here a very strange way. Not following the YT’s mysterious algorithms. (Like I normally don’t) But it almost seems like algorithms are taking people here, as in recently taking them here. I found it a little strange.
I have just finished reading a book titled "Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea" by Gary Kinder, which is about the SS Central America discovery. It's a very detailed book starting from the night the ship sank through the recovery of the gold. It certainly educates the reader on how monumental the task of deep sea exploration was back in the 1980s. It also gives a lot of insight to Tommy Thompson's genius.
Just saw some of the old footage on a rerun of a 1991 episode of the Tonight show. Johnny had one of the expedition leaders on the show and he brought some of the gold with him. I wonder if they've gotten most or all of it by now. I doubt it would be possible to get it all up.
nice...seems the rules change...frenchy making claims on ship in fla.?...it all was plunder from here!...they lost there claim...when we became...our own...you too...spain! good thing this was US gold!
After all these years have gone by since this video has been produced, no one has made a suggestion to replace the porno film sound track with something a bit more appropriate? 😳
Alright fat boy, your three comments are enough. Your mother is about to come out with the ship crew and they're going to bust a train on her. That's why this music is playing
My thoughts exactly. Is there another video without this piss poor "music". Irritating beyond belief. Big, BIG Thumbs Down on this pile of crap. Could do without that f--king "music". Why is it that all these documentary and movie makers fell inclined to inflict this NOISE on people. Can't watch a movie today without subtitles. Damned "music' blasting throughout whole movie, drowning out what is already the lousy dialogue from actors with no speaking skills. Why is it I never need subtitles for movies made in the 40's and 50's? Because they had more class.
Id like to think the privately minted bars and coins went back to the family's of the original owners but probably just ended up in some rich ass holes pockets
Do you mean the rich asshole's who took the risk and financed a risky and dangerous recovery? Or do you mean the family's that likely got a sizeable insurance payment when the ship went down?
@@PrimarchX What I don’t get is hell a court can keep him in prison indefinitely without finishing a trial/convicting him of anything. This thing is beyond corrupt what the state is doing to Tommy. This isn’t how our Constitution is set up.

@@BurnMoneyBeats You wouldn't get it if I mentioned how we've gone from the Greatest Generation to this generation of moral degenerates. Your defense of these idiots and those who defend the Rude Noise of these Audio Terrorists in their "boomer cars" is Exhibit #1 when it comes to the rapid moral decline of this country since the 1960s. "Burn Money Beats" A coward hiding behind a phony moniker like the legions of other cowards who are too gutless to use their own name. I used to be a long-haired hippie in the 70s. I went to concerts and listened to Rock n' Roll. I remember going to block parties. They were few and far between because first and foremost in people's minds was the unspoken rule: Don't Disturb Your Neighbors.
@@larrysingleton2864 ok boomer, you're not going to get the reaction you want or expect from me. Sorry if that bothers you. Maybe you should do some deep soul searching and ask yourself is it really worth the effort to make the choice to be bothered by it. The muzak in this video is neither loud nor offensive, why does it bother you THAT much. Hope you find healthier ways to cope with your feelings. ❤
I never get tired of watching this over and over
Free Tommy Thompson
Свободу Томми Томпсону! 🗽Freedom for Tommy Thompson! 🗽
Neat to see some video after reading the book
I'm at the old west antique show in Grass Vally CA. today. Bob Evans is here with an awesome display of Central America/ship of gold artifacts.
The restaurant?
No one cares 😅
Bob Evans biscuits and gravy mmmmmm 😛

Wonderful vid no annoying adverts and repeating it's selve every 10 mins love it real Tv and no what If

What an amazing discovery! Thank you for sharing, Karl!
Awesome, the book was great
This was made 7 years ago and no one has seen it before
Noticing the CRTs. Technology sure changes quickly !
Read the book, saw some pictures, but this is so cool.

Dawson Needham ---Great comment! Its almost unbelievable! Extremely deep water. Its hard to think about how they found it!
8600 feet. A mile is 5280 ft.
The technical team all did black ops for the navy.
Enjoyed the video Very interesting stuff thank u.
why do we need this 1970s porno music
Because your mother's about to come out ship crew and they're going to bust a train on her
Saw this as a demo video some time ago & thought it was routinely done, but there was just 1 shipwreck with that much gold.
Gotta love the cheesy 80s porn soundtrack
Read: Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea by Gary Kinder. Fantastic story!
Fantastic video, lots of patience to recover it. Bet the guy was sweating big time doing the recovery even if he had fans and air conditioning blasting on him.
Love the shine of gold 😍
i love this vid

someone should send you a box of towels to wipe of the tears...
Let Thompson free already! He found the gold so he can keep it!
I wanna see this guy on a claw machine. Just purchased a 1.5 pinch of gold from this shipwreck.
the video looks good while watching with 2x speed
Its such a pity it will end up in the coffers of the richest people in the world.
Enough gold to make everyone on board a millionaire and people still find a way to fight over it! Just ridiculous!
It’s the “LOVE of money” that becomes the root of all evil. The history is absolutely amazing, and the shipwreck treasure recovered lives on today.

Lol ur right
👍🏻 Love the music.
Where was the gold going? And who was the shipper?
It was headed to New York.

Old Chrome ----I've read of another team successfully finding it again and recovering alot.
question.. How do they keep others from docking and taking the gold? They are not there 24/7/365
It is booby trapped with explosives
The Navy is keeping guard. Protecting and making sure the government will get the required share.
My Parents Nephew ( Dwight Manley / California Gold Marketing Group ) OWNS this Gold Coin Collection .
Yeah how did he get it?
So what do you want?A medal?
@petergraphic539yes a GOLD one !!!4
nice...seems the rules change...frenchy making claims on ship in fla.?...it all was plunder from here!...they lost there claim...when we became...our own...you too...spain! good thing this was US gold!
I hear theres still qlot down there?
wtf is controversial about tommys genius
and we dont even get a image of the complete recovery?, i wanna see all the bars cleaned and stacked together!!!
Here is just a small portion of the Shipwreck Treasure:

Wanna make gold hard to get to without a safe? Put it 1.5 miles down in Davy Jones locker! :) You're gonna need robots!

Don't tell any one..
The MUZAK is too loud.

So where is all the gold now
They stole it from him like modern day pirates
It was melted so they can make a grill for your grandmother bro
I agree to a gold bar
Id like to think the privately minted bars and coins went back to the family's of the original owners but probably just ended up in some rich ass holes pockets

Drugs and ego brought him down. He wasn't a nice person at the end.
Rusty, he was a genius, but then the love of money corrupts. He still in jail because he won’t talk… that’s a whole Other story.
"Controversial genius" tommy Thompson?
Yeah, he had sex with a chicken.
He was a very clever guy but it looks like he was a bit of a conman 😂
Topla topla bitmiyor maşallah..
Unlistenable with that incessant loud unnecessary "music" that adds nothing.
Number 49.
