With only a limited number of these rounds set to be produced, don’t miss out on a chance to own a unique piece of World War II history.
Round Highlights:
The 300 ft S.S. Gairsoppa was launched in 1919 by the British India Steam Navigation Company, Ltd. of London; a company that got its start transporting mail between Calcutta and Rangoon. As World War II unfolded, the United Kingdom enlisted the ship to help out with the war efforts. Towards the beginning of the war (December of 1940), the ship was loaded full of supplies which included pig iron, tea and over 7 million ounces of silver in the form of ingots. Today the value of its cargo has been estimated at 150,000,000 pounds and is believed to be one of the richest of any sunken vessel.
On its trip from Calcutta to Britain where it was to deliver its rich load to the Royal Mint in London, the ship began to run low on fuel. It was forced to set a new course on the most direct route to port. As the ship headed towards the isles, it was spotted by German aircraft which then relayed its position to a U-Boat which was in the area. The Gairsoppa was hit by a torpedo and later sunk on February 17, 1941 approximately 300 miles off the coast of Galway. The ship and its rich cargo sat on the bottom of the Atlantic for nearly 7 decades until it was finally recovered.
In 2010 the British Government sought out the help of Florida-based Odyssey Marine Exploration to help locate the ship and try to recover the 110+ tons of precious silver. They succeeded and ended up recovering nearly all of the sunken silver. After the success of their recovery, the company decided to commemorate the ship and its rich history by producing a number of silver bars, rounds and coins minted with actual silver from the recovery.

"Just received the 5 I ordered. Very well packaged in individual plastic holders and in perfect condition. Prompt shipping as usual from JM. I am somewhat a newcomer to the precious metals investment world and JM makes it easy and enjoyable, I will be using them for a long time to come. These rounds are quite cool knowing they came from silver from a shipwreck so many years ago, nice being able to hold a piece of history in my hands."
"Fascinating bit of history for the collection. The capsule of mine was a little scratched up, but that's okay. I popped it open and the coin itself is pristine, which is what counts. Thanks JMB or the chance at owning something so interesting!"
"These are so totally unique that they are a part of WWII during Britains most desperate time. These beautiful coins have a historical place i numismatics. Had she port with the "Idian Silver" policies with FDR and Churchill may have changed the war. I am so glad to have them and JM Bullion has take great care in packaging, handling and shipping!"
"I bought one of these rounds for my collection. It is very cool to hold a piece of shipwreck history in the palm of your hand. And far more affordable than buying shipwreck silver from the Atocha. I'd highly recommend having at least one piece. And I don't know how many were made available. It is just really cool to have. It makes for great story telling too."
"Just received two of these 1oz rounds. Not going to add a lot of these to my stack but grabbed them due to the historical aspect of the silver. Very nice with good detail. Best part was I ordered them via e-check on 8/25 and had them in my hand on 8/31. Seven days total and saved the 4% CC fee. Thanks again JMB. You guys are top notch."
"This is a cool round, and it's even better knowing where it came from. I highly recommend everyone buy a few of these."
"I don't normally collect silver rounds, opting instead for Silver Eagles. As a history buff I could not pass these up however !! What a neat piece of history !!"
"Holding a piece of history in my hand now. Arrived in protective capsule."
"What a cool piece of history you can hold in your hand! Think about it, the silver you are holding was mined from the depths of the Earth, only to be trapped thousands of feet underwater in the Atlantic Ocean for decades! You have to buy at least 1, I think! I buy precious metals for bullion investment purposes, but I couldn't resist getting one of these. JM Bullion beats all the others prices with the best customer service. The only place I buy bullion!"
"This is a great place to buy silver and gold. Its everything it claims to be."
