Just before Christmas in 1940, the harbor at Oban, Scotland, faced a grim assault from Nazi aircraft flying from Norway, culminating in the bombing of the S.S. Breda. This cargo ship, laden with goods destined for Bombay, was sent to the depths of the ocean. For half a century, the wreck of the S.S. Breda lay in the dark waters, a known site among divers but with its strongroom sealed and the contents shrouded in mystery. Speculations abounded—was there gold, jewels, or something even more valuable?

When the strongroom was finally breached, divers were met not with treasures of gold or precious gems, but with stacks of blank white paper. Yet, a closer examination revealed a treasure far rarer than any precious metal: watermarked banknote sheets intended for the Reserve Bank of India. These "treasure sheets" quickly became heralded as one of the most numismatically unique finds in the annals of shipwreck history.

The album "History’s Mysteries: Treasure Hunt: Wreck of the Breda" delves into this extraordinary tale, chronicling the intriguing journey of the shipwreck, the discovery of its enigmatic contents, and the historical significance of the numismatic treasures recovered from the ocean's depths.
