FILE- This 1989 file photo shows gold bars and coins from the S.S. Central America, a mail steamship, sunk in a hurricane in 1857, about 160 miles off the North Carolina coast. More than $50 million worth of gold bars, coins and dust that has sat at the bottom of the ocean since the ship it was on sunk in 1857 is about to go on public display in California. The gold was recovered in 2014 from the wreckage of the S.S. Central America steamship and is now sitting in a makeshift laboratory just south of Los Angeles. (AP Photo, File)
