The S.S. Tilawa, often referred to as the “Indian Titanic,” was tragically sunk during World War II. The ship was en route from Bombay, India, to Durban, South Africa, when it was struck by Japanese torpedoes, resulting in the loss of 2,364 silver bars to the ocean’s depths. In 2017, nearly 60 tons of this lost silver were recovered from the wreckage, leading to a highly debated salvage operation. Now, you can own a piece of this remarkable history with the 1 oz Silver S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Rounds, available online at Silver.com.

Round Highlights:

  • Ships in a protective plastic flip, a tube of 20, or a box of 500!
  • Struck from silver recovered from the S.S. Tilawa!
  • Unique Tilawa Shipwreck Silver!
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .999 fine silver.
  • The obverse shows the Tilawa with a map outlining its course.
  • The reverse depicts the S.S. Tilawa sailing in the Indian Ocean.

Each 1 oz Silver S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Round comes in a protective plastic flip, a tube of 20, or a box of 500. The silver used to create these rounds was salvaged from the wreck of the S.S. Tilawa in 2017. After a protracted legal dispute over ownership, the silver was refined and struck into these unique commemorative pieces.

In November 1942, the S.S. Tilawa was on a mission to transport passengers and silver cargo from what is now Mumbai, India, to Durban, South Africa. The silver was destined for the South African Mint, intended for minting coins for South Africa and Egypt.

The obverse of the Silver S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Rounds features an aerial view of the ship, accompanied by a map showing its intended route from India to South Africa. The calm seas depicted in the design belie the tragic fate that awaited the ship.

On the reverse of the 1 oz Silver S.S. Tilawa Shipwreck Rounds, you’ll find a striking image of the ship as it sailed through the Indian Ocean. This view from the stern is haunting and reminiscent of the last sight the Japanese submariners likely had before launching their attack. On November 23, 1942, two torpedoes struck the ship, sending it to the ocean floor.

Owning a piece of shipwreck silver is a rare opportunity, offering a tangible connection to a significant historical event.

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 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.
