A sidewheel steamer that sank in 1865 while en route from New York to New Orleans after battling a hurricane for two days. Research indicates the ship was carrying $400,000 in specie when she sank. For more about the history of the SS Republic click here.
How did Odyssey find the shipwreck? Odyssey used historical research to narrow the search area. Then side scan sonar and magnetometer technology were used to find targets on the sea bed. Promising anomalies were inspected with a small Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). For more information about the search, click here. How do you know the shipwreck is the SS Republic? The shipwreck is the right size compared to historical records; it has the engine structure and the sidewheels we expected to find; and the SS Republic is the only sidewheel steamer that we know of that sank in that area. During the pre-disturbance survey, we found and recovered the ship's bell, which had the letters "SSEE" still visible. The SS Republic was originally known as the SS Tennessee. This confirmed the identity of the shipwreck as that of the SS Republic. Where is the shipwreck of the SS Republic? The shipwreck is approximately 100 miles off the Florida/Georgia border, about 1700 feet below the surface of the Atlantic. Isn't the shipwreck a grave site for those who died in the sinking? Actually, no one went down with the ship. All of the passengers got off the ship before it sank. We have some research that indicates one person drowned trying to make it to the life raft. All of the other passengers made it to one of the four lifeboats or the life raft. All of the passengers in the four lifeboats made it to shore safely. Unfortunately, only two people remained on the life raft when it was rescued days later. What has been done so far on the wrecksite? Odyssey began work on the site in October 2003. The archaeological pre-disturbance work has been completed. This work included a detailed photomosaic of the shipwreck site and debris fields. More than 4600 digital still photographs were taken during the photomosaic and site survey work over the course of 23 dives. For more information about the pre-disturbance work click here. The archaeological excavation of the shipwreck site began in November of 2003 and by the end of 2004 Odyssey had completed the necessary excavation of the main area of the SS Republic shipwreck. The latest status update on the project is available here. How much are the coins worth? As of December 2004, Odyssey has recovered over 51,000 gold and silver coins from the site representing approximately 25% of the reported $400,000 (1865 face value) that was lost with the ship. The estimated retail value of the coins recovered to date should exceed $75 million according to John Albanese, Numismatic Marketing Strategist for Odyssey. A partial gold coin population report detailing specific coins and grades for gold coins conserved and graded by Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS) and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) through September 16, 2004 is available here. *Note: The ultimate value of the cargo to the company could be either more or less than the numismatic value, and will depend on the method in which it is marketed, the share of other claimants if any, the cost of financing and many potential factors outside the control of the company. There will always be the risk that the cargo could be impossible to find, non-existent, or of minimal value. Who owns the coins and the other artifacts Odyssey recovers from the shipwreck? Odyssey now owns the SS Republic shipwreck, including its cargo, hull, all artifacts and specie on board when the ship sank. Odyssey filed an Admiralty "arrest" or claim on the shipwreck site in August of 2003 and reached a settlement in January 2004 with the insurance company that paid a claim on the cargo, hull and some of the specie. As no other claims were received by the court, Odyssey requested a default judgment for complete ownership of the shipwreck and cargo, rather than requesting a salvage award for a percentage of the recovered value. In March 2004, the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division granted title and ownership of the SS Republic to Odyssey. What will happen to the coins and bottles and other artifacts? Once conserved and documented, and after saving a representative sample for further study and display, coins and other recovered cargo are available for sale to the public. If you are interested in owning a piece of history, you can click here to see a sample of materials available or you can call toll free 1-877-679-7325 to find out more about items available for sale. Other recovered artifacts will be used for exhibits and displays about the shipwreck. What kind of equipment are you using on the SS Republic site? Work on the SS Republic site is being conducted from the Odyssey Explorer, a 251-foot dynamically positioned (DP2) ship and state-of-the-art deep ocean archaeological platform. The centerpiece of Odyssey's system is ZEUS, a seven ton, 205 horsepower remotely operated vehicle (ROV). ZEUS is rated to 2,500 meters (8,200 ft) and has two Schilling seven-function spatial correspondent manipulators, which provide for exceptional dexterity and fine control of delicate archaeological procedures. Additional sea-bottom site measurement and positioning technology as well as archaeological recording and logging equipment have been integrated into the system to perform detailed archaeological excavation of the site.

Will the project be shown on TV? National Geographic Television and Film (NGT&F) documented the recovery and the entire expedition. Dateline NBC featured the Republic story and National Geographic Ultimate Explorer aired "Lost Gold of the Republic" in late April 2004. a one hour National Geographic Special titled "Civil War Gold" premiered on PBS on November 17th, 2004. Jason Williams and JWM Productions produced the documentaries for National Geographic. In addition, the Republic shipwreck was featured in the October 2004 issue of National Geographic Magazine. What's next? After the Odyssey team completes the archaeological excavation, the company plans to begin the archaeological excavation on HMS Sussex, a British warship that sank in 1694 off the coast of the western Mediterranean in nearly 3000 feet of water.

As of December 2004, Odyssey has recovered over 51,000 gold and silver coins from the site representing approximately 25% of the reported $400,000 (1865 face value) that was lost with the ship. The estimated retail value of the coins recovered to date should exceed $75 million according to John Albanese, Numismatic Marketing Strategist for Odyssey. A partial gold coin population report detailing specific coins and grades for gold coins conserved and graded by Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS) and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) through September 16, 2004 is available here.
*Note: The ultimate value of the cargo to the company could be either more or less than the numismatic value, and will depend on the method in which it is marketed, the share of other claimants if any, the cost of financing and many potential factors outside the control of the company. There will always be the risk that the cargo could be impossible to find, non-existent, or of minimal value.
Who owns the coins and the other artifacts Odyssey recovers from the shipwreck? Odyssey now owns the SS Republic shipwreck, including its cargo, hull, all artifacts and specie on board when the ship sank. Odyssey filed an Admiralty "arrest" or claim on the shipwreck site in August of 2003 and reached a settlement in January 2004 with the insurance company that paid a claim on the cargo, hull and some of the specie. As no other claims were received by the court, Odyssey requested a default judgment for complete ownership of the shipwreck and cargo, rather than requesting a salvage award for a percentage of the recovered value. In March 2004, the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division granted title and ownership of the SS Republic to Odyssey. What will happen to the coins and bottles and other artifacts? Once conserved and documented, and after saving a representative sample for further study and display, coins and other recovered cargo are available for sale to the public. If you are interested in owning a piece of history, you can click here to see a sample of materials available or you can call toll free 1-877-679-7325 to find out more about items available for sale. Other recovered artifacts will be used for exhibits and displays about the shipwreck. What kind of equipment are you using on the SS Republic site? Work on the SS Republic site is being conducted from the Odyssey Explorer, a 251-foot dynamically positioned (DP2) ship and state-of-the-art deep ocean archaeological platform. The centerpiece of Odyssey's system is ZEUS, a seven ton, 205 horsepower remotely operated vehicle (ROV). ZEUS is rated to 2,500 meters (8,200 ft) and has two Schilling seven-function spatial correspondent manipulators, which provide for exceptional dexterity and fine control of delicate archaeological procedures. Additional sea-bottom site measurement and positioning technology as well as archaeological recording and logging equipment have been integrated into the system to perform detailed archaeological excavation of the site.
