The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 47, November 18, 2001, Article 4 EUREKA INGOT FACTS Regarding the recently-sold gold ingot from the S.S. Central America discussed in last week's E-Sylum, Bob Evans, co-discoverer and curator of the S.S. Central America treasure, writes: "The public media, and for that matter the numismatic media as well, seldom get all the facts straight. The treasure was in fact loaded onto the Central America on September 3, 1857, but it was at the American port of Aspinwall in Panama, not in San Francisco as stated in the AP release quoted by you. The treasure, passengers and mail left San Francisco on August 20. I am personally thrilled that the Eureka ingot has found a new home. It is quite an artifact!"
