Ep. 156: Team Tommy: The Ship of Gold WITH SPECIAL GUEST CHRIS
We're back and it's a big one! This week Professor Chris (a real professor y'all) is stepping in for Shannon to tell us about the SS Central America and her untimely end. She's full of gold when she goes down, but 130 years later Tommy Thompson finds her and brings up some of her treasure. When asked to pay his backers, Tommy disappears with the gold. So what happened to the gold? How long is too long to be held in contempt of court? And what did Emma believe was a Spanish doubloon for way too long? Come find out and make sure to bring your lawyer!
