Info:
In the history of navigation, many ships have been named Fame. The one we are interested in was built in 1816 in Calcutta. As a cargo ship, it regularly transited between Great Britain and India for commercial purposes. Six years after its first voyage, it sank in 1822, in the south of Africa, with a bunker filled with precious goods.
The sinking of the Fame in 1822
Unfortunately, very little information has come down to us about its sinking and it is not easy to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Captain William Clark was in command of the ship Fame which was carrying a cargo of various articles. It left Madras on March 5, 1822 and arrived in Table Bay, Cape Town, on May 21.
The Fame was registered in 1822 by Lloyd’s Register as belonging to Palmer & Co. The British maritime classification society notified in the journal No. 5728, of August 27, 1922, that:
“The Fame; Clark, from Bengal and Madras, for London, in beating out of Table Bay on 14th June 1822 and was driven onto the most rocky part of Sea Point, and became a total wreck; the Passengers and Crew (with the exception of Mr. Coffin, The Purser, Mrs. Miles, Miss Banks, and Master Mayho, Passengers, and four seamen and Invalids) were saved by boats from the bay.”
A report from the day of the accident gives more details. A northerly wind and heavy swell prevented the Fame from staying on course and kept pulling it back toward the coast. Despite the captain’s best efforts to right the ship’s helm, the ship headed straight for the rocks of Sea Point and broke in two. The bow section remained stuck in the rocks, while the stern section sank immediately, taking with it some of the cargo, as well as the trunks filled with coins. Before sinking, the passengers and crew, apart from ten people, were brought to safety by boats that came to their rescue.
The ship fell into oblivion until 1965 when the wreck was found. Many coins were found, scattered over a considerable area on the ocean floor. SOURCE:THOMAS NUMISMATICS
