NewSAILING SHIP PAMIR ON PALAU SILVER COIN

Palau 5 Dollars 2009 sailing ship PamirThe Pamir was launched in 1905 as a cargo ship for the famous Flying P-Lines.  She was a so-called “Four-Masted Barque”, 114 meters long with a 14 meter beam (374 x 46 feet).  In 1951 she was acquired as a training ship for the German Merchant Navy.  In 1957, while returning to Hamburg from Argentina she got caught in a Hurricane.  The Pamir lost its mainsail in the storm; the cargo, which was not loaded correctly, shifted and caused a dangerous list. Water entered the ship and it quickly capsized without time for the crew to lower the lifeboats.  Only 6 of the 86 crewmembers could be rescued by nearby ships.  This 38.6mm sterling silver Proof 5 Dollar coin from Palau pictures the ship in a fierce storm.  The arms of Palau are on the obverse.  The 2009 dated coin has a mintage of just 2500 pieces.
