Today we are telling the story of Tommy Thompson, an underwater engineer that discovered the SS central America, a ship that went down in a hurricane in 1857 with upwards of 3/4 of a billion dollars in gold on board. After a decade of fighting endless lawsuits Tommy vanished with 2.1 million dollars and 500 gold coins.
