Hello All

Here is an 1885 follow up story.

Today the Ionlani Palace is a museum. If ever in Hawaii it would be good to see these sites just to walk in the footsteps of an amazing forgotten robbery from history.

Hello Bomber

Thanks for you support.

I love your avatar. Was it an original artwork from a WW2 1940,s Bomber?

Hello Bomber

I once read an article called the lost art of world war 2. It has 12 amazing artworks for the time and history of each aircraft of the brave young men who fought and died in them. Many were lost during the war.

My how prudish the world has become in a so called era of political enlightenment.

Bomber I also am a nose art fan. I don't really study or collect, just appreciate the media. Those boys were in a very dangerous job and likely not getting out alive. Our society has become increasingly stupid over the things it finds offensive. You can find far worse than that on prime time tv.

So I am curious Hardluck, any leads to where this fortune went? Do you believe the East Oakland ship was perhaps the destination?

Lets take this story down the road a bit... suppose someone DOES actually get lucky and find it. Well, then you have probably years of litigation suits/counter suits for ownership of the gold. Why? Do some research on the Odyssey Marine Exploration with the "Black Swan Project" They raked in around 500k gold pieces (estimated) and the lawsuits are still going on. It would really be nice to own just one piece of gold from that ship, but that's another story. Anyway - can anyone say what would happen or speculate who would try to claim ownership of this gold? Suppose the decendents of the native Hawaiian's? Who else? The US Government?

Well it happened way before statehood so it would be tough for the US to make a claim I would think. I'm guessing the royal family would be the ones who could make a claim. Still it's the thrill of the chase that drives most of us I think more than possession. I'd just use the money to hunt more treasure  Grin

True! True.. even if you could get 1/2 of it as reward money, then had to pay 1/2 in taxes.. that still would be plenty to live off the interest alone to then go and do more treasure hunting.
My dad (lives out in San Diego area) told me about some old rifles that were stashed away in some rocks/boulders just east of San Diego.. I remember when I was a kid living at home, and we went out one weekend trying to find them, but never did. It would be so nice to invent some sort of 'scanning' metal detector that you could just pan out and would identify something within 1/4 mile.
