If you're one of the many who have followed the winding trail of this tale, you will probably like this read. Looks like it's pretty much artifacts being auctioned off, but there is definitely a lot of interest nonetheless. And one of the items is the metal-plate daguerreotype that some might remember from the Ghostly photographs! thread earlier this year: The "Mona Lisa of the Deep". My Briny Babe of the Sea. The Pictures of Lily in my life. The auction actually looks like it would be a lot of fun to attend. The article contains quite a few quotes from those associated with the shipwreck and the auction:
Sunken Gold Rush treasures recovered from 1857 shipwreck to be held in Reno auction
Wish I could afford to bid on some of that stuff...
