From bottom of page 3 on, this document reveals the model that the Columbus-America Discovery Group used to find the SS Central America. I found it very interesting...

Very interesting. I find it perplexing, given the condition of the ship and it's need for repair, that it did not immediately try to find safe harbor on the coast. There were several options. But maybe the "political" conditions of the time affected that decision.
