    1853 California Fractional Gold 25C, BG-209 Liberty Round PCGS MS64 R7- SKU: 25654786 Stock Qty: 0 Retail Price: $0.00 PCGS #: 10394 Product Description Article by Fred Holabird, March 25, 2013: SS Winfield Scott, sank December 2, 1853 This ship wrecked off the coast of Santa Barbara, hitting rocks off Anacapa Island, part of the Channel Islands. There was no loss of life, but the ship ultimately sank in shallow water. Recovery efforts were made immediately, and most of the treasure was recovered within a few weeks. In 1894 a second major salvage operation recovered as much of the metal parts of the ship as possible, possibly including the ship’s bell, in a private collection today. No mention was made of any gold or gold coin, as it was generally thought that the gold was recovered on the initial recovery effort of 1853. But divers in modern times using modern equipment went at it again in the 1950s—1970s, recovering even more gold coins, probably from abandoned passenger belongings. The first formal record of a fractional Cal gold coin from the Winfield Scott came in 1957. That coin now rests in the Smithsonian, discovered (and traced) in modern times by Totheroh, Bob Lande, and Ken Glickman. In 1967, a suction dredge was used on part of the site, recovering at least two gold nuggets, and an unknown number of coins. Skin Diver Magazine published an article about treasure hunting on the Winfield Scott by Dick Anderson in September, 1969. It enthralled Totheroh and many others. Later that year, it was reported that divers found and recorded other California fractional pieces, and the rush was on for more gold coin, which had worked its way deep into rocky crevices through gravity over time.

CALENDAR ITEM C49 A 37 04/09/02 w 24763 s 18 P. Griggs G. Walker CONSIDER ARTIFACT TRANSFER PARTY: Santa Barbara Maritime Museum 327 S. Salinas Street Santa Barbara, CA 93103 BACKGROUND The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum has formally requested that the Commission transfer ownership of artifacts recovered from the historic shipwreck of the SS Winfield Scott. The shipwreck lies on state sovereign lands off middle Anacapa Island within the boundaries of the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (Sanctuary) and the Channel Islands National Park (Park). The artifacts were recovered by staff from the Sanctuary and Park under permit from the Commission in 2000 and 2001. The artifacts include metal hull fasteners and hardware, ceramic fragments, bottle fragments, a brick, and two glass knobs. The artifacts were collected because they had become exposed on the seabed and were at risk of loss by theft from recreational divers. Commission staff has received a detailed photographic report and list of the artifacts. The permit granted to the Sanctuary and Park by the Commission required them to seek out a conservation facility and a repository for the artifacts. The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (Museum) has agreed to complete the conservation and curation of the artifacts, to provide access for scholarly research, and to provide for public display. The Museum has the specialized expertise, facilities, and security to properly care for these artifacts.

  • Rapid Morphological Change in Black Rats (Rattus Rattus) After an Island Introduction Oliver R.W
    Rapid morphological change in black rats (Rattus rattus) after an island introduction Oliver R.W. Pergams1,2 , David Byrn1, Kashawneda L.Y. Lee1 and Racheal Jackson1 1 Department of Biology, Olive-Harvey College, One of the City Colleges of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA 2 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA ABSTRACT Rapid morphological change has been shown in rodent populations on islands, including endemic deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus subspp.) on the California Channel Islands. Surprisingly, most of these changes were towards a smaller size. Black rats were introduced to Anacapa Island in the mid-1800s (probably in 1853) and eradicated in 2001–2002. To assess possible changes in these rats since their in- troduction, eleven cranial and four standard external measurements were taken from 59 Rattus rattus specimens collected from 1940–2000. All rat cranial traits changed 3.06–10.43% (724–2567 d, 0.06–0.42 h), and all became larger. When considered in haldanes, these changes are among the fastest on record in any organism, and far exceed changes found in other island rodents. These changes were confirmed by MANOVA (Wilk’s λ < 0:0005, Fd:f :15 D 2974:386, P < 0:0005), and all 11 cranial traits significantly fit linear regressions. We speculate that concurrent changes in mice may have been due in part to competition with and/or predation by rats. Future research might evaluate whether the vector of mouse evolution on Anacapa is again changing after rat eradication.
