Own a rare personal artifact from the SS Central America, famously known as the “Ship of Gold.”
This paper passenger receipt was once carried aboard the ship before it sank in 1857 during a hurricane off the Carolina coast. Unlike cargo or structural items, documents like this represent the individuals who traveled on the vessel during the height of the California Gold Rush.
Measuring approximately 2" x 3.5", this piece offers a direct and personal connection to one of the most legendary shipwrecks in American history—an event that contributed to the Panic of 1857.
A fragile yet powerful relic—perfect for collectors and display.
Smoky Mountain Relic Room offers a 30 day return policy with proof of purchase.
