S.S. CENTRAL AMERICA SPECULATION

Regarding Leon Worden's questions about the sinking of the S.S. Central
America, Jim Duncan of New Zealand writes: "It crossed my mind that part
of the ship might have been lightened by removal rather than lowered by
overloading. Is it not also possible that someone ("unscrupulous bankers
or others") unloaded a quantity of gold, and substituted something lighter,
so that the ship floated stern down?
