Often called the “Indian Titanic,” the SS Tilawa was tragically sunk in the Indian Ocean during World War II by Japanese torpedoes. The vessel, traveling from Bombay to Durban, never reached its destination. Among the many lives lost, 2,364 silver bars also sank to the ocean floor. A secret salvage mission in 2017 recovered approximately 60 tons of this silver, igniting controversy over the operation. Right now, 100 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bars are available from JM Bullion.
Bar Highlights:
Each of the 100 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bars available here comes with protective plastic. These beautiful bars were refined using silver that was recovered from the floor of the Indian Ocean amidst the wreckage of the S.S. Tilawa.
The SS Tilawa Shipwreck Salvage Silver Series provides a unique opportunity to own a part of history. The SS Tilawa, a British India Steam Navigation Company liner, was sunk by a Japanese submarine on November 23, 1942, with 60 tons of silver bullion aboard. Lost for decades, the shipwreck was rediscovered in 2014, and in 2017, the silver was salvaged. This collection includes original shipwreck silver bars, as well as newly minted bars, rounds, and grain, each capturing the story of the Tilawa’s tragic sinking and the remarkable recovery of its long-lost treasure.
The obverse of S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bars comes with an emblem representing the S.S. Tilawa. This circular seal at the center offers a silhouette of the Tilawa above stylized water with the name of the vessel and the series surrounding it. Beneath, you’ll find the identifying hallmarks of the bars.
On the reverse of 100 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bars is a depiction of the ship. In this design, the vessel is shown sailing along on calm waters while the background field includes a rippled-water effect.
