The S.S. Tilawa, sometimes referred to as the “Indian Titanic,” met its fate in the Indian Ocean during World War II. On its journey from Bombay to Durban, South Africa, the ship was struck by Japanese torpedoes and sank, carrying with it 2,364 silver bars. In 2017, an operation successfully recovered about 60 tons of silver from the wreck, sparking much debate. Now, you can own a piece of history with the 10 oz S.S.

On the obverse of the 10 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bar, you’ll see a detailed design that is central to this series. A silhouette of the ship sits at the heart of the bar’s design, surrounded by stylized waves and two anchors. The background is filled with a textured wave pattern to highlight the ship’s story.

The reverse of the S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bar displays the ship sailing at sea. The design captures the vessel in motion, leaving a wake in the water behind it. The background mirrors this movement with a rippling water effect, representing the ship’s final voyage in November 1942 when it carried silver bullion across the Indian Ocean.

These shipwreck silver bars give you the chance to own a rare piece of history. The S.S. Tilawa was a British India Steam Navigation Company liner sunk by a Japanese submarine in 1942. After years on the ocean floor, its silver cargo was recovered in 2017, allowing collectors and investors to hold a unique treasure.

Each 10 oz S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Silver Bar comes with protective plastic to keep it in great condition. These bars are crafted from the salvaged silver found within the wreckage of the S.S. Tilawa, making them both a historical artifact and a valuable addition to your collection.
