The sinking of the S.S. Islander in August, 1901 sent an estimated $3.5 million worth of Klondike Gold to the bottom of the Alaska's Inside Passage near Juneau with tragic loss of life. After the grieving was over, there was a lot of talk about recovering the gold, but it took more than 30 years of waiting for the technology to permit what turned out to be an astonishing deep-water salvage operation that in its time rivaled that of the Titanic. The effort had a single focus: Find the gold.
