January 15-16, 2013 - New York, NY Ex-Clive of India Treasure Peca In 1997, various South African bodies and authorities laid claim to the treasure based on their belief that it is Clive’s gold, culminating in a settlement by consent of the parties and order of the court.

In April, 1755 Robert Clive was preparing for his voyage back to India. Beginning his career as a lowly clerk in the British East India Company, Clive had returned to England two years earlier as a rich and successful military hero, briefly pursuing a flirtation with politics. Now returning to the battlefields of India, he packed his belongings and nearly £3,000 of gold coins (England then abounded with Brazilian gold coin) and left with his wife aboard the Stretham, which sailed for India with several other ships on April 22. His gold, though, had been consigned to another ship, the Dodington. Beset in stormy weather off Chaos Island in Algoa Bay, near present day Port Elizabeth in South Africa, the Dodington hit a reef and smashed into pieces. Only 23 of the 270 aboard survived, living for seven months on Chaos Island, now known as Bird island (so named for the legions of birds whose guano contributions over the years has made the island a valued natural resource). They recovered portions of the wreckage - tools, provisions and one “Chest of Treasure” and one of “Wrought Plate.” The treasure was disputed, the officers wanted to save it for their consignors and the other survivors wanted to divide it among themselves. One chest was opened surreptitiously and more than half the contents stolen and hidden. The survivors sailed to Mozambique aboard an escape vessel they had built, then on to India, where Clive soon learned of his loss. Over the years, some in the Cape Colony believed that more than two treasure chests came ashore on Bird Island and that the additional chests were buried by the officers to avoid conflict and mutiny. In England, meanwhile, the story of the wreck of the Dodington captured the public imagination and stirred the interest of salvagers and would-be treasure hunters. 940 940 Canada, Victoria (1837-1901), 10 Cents, 1870, wide date, fully lustrous with soft apricot patina, scarce variety, uncirculated.
