The S.S. Tilawa was a British-Indian passenger and cargo ship that tragically sank during World War II. On November 23, 1942, the ship was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine while en route from Bombay to Durban, South Africa. The attack happened about 930 miles northeast of the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, sending the vessel to the bottom. The ship carried 958 passengers and crew, along with silver bullion. Now, you have a unique opportunity to own silver bullion made from silver recovered from the wreck of the S.S. Tilawa. The 1/2 oz Silver S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Voyage Round is available now from Silver.com.

Round Highlights:

  • Ships in a protective plastic flip, a tube of 20, or a box of 500!
  • Part of the Tilawa Shipwreck Silver series!
  • Refined from silver salvaged from the wreck of the Tilawa!
  • Consists of One-Half Troy ounce of .999 fine silver.
  • Obverse depicts the S.S. Tilawa on its journey to South Africa.
  • Reverse features the S.S. Tilawa design.

Each 1/2 oz Silver S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Voyage Round is made from silver recovered from the shipwreck of the S.S. Tilawa. The ship’s cargo lay on the ocean floor for over 70 years before being recovered and refined into these silver rounds, which come in protective plastic flips, tubes of 20, or boxes of 500.

In 2017, Argentum Exploration Ltd. led an ambitious deep-sea recovery mission to retrieve the silver cargo from the S.S. Tilawa. The team used advanced technology to find the shipwreck at a depth of around 9,200 feet and successfully recovered the silver bars for refinement.

The obverse of the Silver S.S. Tilawa Rounds features an artistic view of the ship on its final voyage across the Indian Ocean. The background shows a detailed map of the ship’s planned route from Bombay, India, to Durban, South Africa.

On the reverse, the 1/2 oz S.S. Tilawa Round celebrates the ship’s history. Built in 1924, the S.S. Tilawa originally served as a passenger liner for the British India Steam Navigation Company, before being repurposed during World War II by the Royal Navy for military transport.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please feel welcome to call us toll free at 1(888) 989-7223 or use our Live Chat feature during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. CST. Alternatively, you can email us at help@silver.com and expect a response within 1 business day.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
