Owner Comments:

From the "Bermuda Triangle" series of coins commemorating ships lost at sea in that mysterious place. The Constellation was a 4-masted schooner that had a cargo of cooking oil, Johnny Walker whiskey and pharmaceuticals among other things.The ship was found in the 1990's and became controversial because the drugs ended up being a large quantity of Morphine. The Constellation story was the inspiration for Peter Benchley's book and subsequent movie-"The Deep" - another unique aspect of this set are the many different shapes of coins......triangular coins with ships were also minted in the mid 1990's by Bermuda, playing on the mystery of the infamous Bermuda Triangle
