The Mystery of the Mona Lisa of the Deep: A Haunting 167 Year Old Portrait and a $ 765 Million Treasure!
In 2014, deep-sea explorers made an astonishing discovery in the wreck of the SS Central America, a 19th-century steamship that met its tragic end in 1857. Among the vast treasure trove of gold coins and artifacts, one particular item stood out—a hauntingly beautiful daguerreotype of an unknown woman. Resting 7,200 feet beneath the ocean surface off the coast of South Carolina for over 150 years, this photograph has been dubbed the “Mona Lisa of the Deep.”
