6. HMS Feversham
Current Estimated Value: $4,560* (1652 Pine Tree Shilling From The Wreck)
Year Vanished: 1711 Year Found: 1996
It’s safe to assume that this 32-gun fifth-rate was worth a lot when it sank because even one shilling from the HMS Feversham is valued at Christie’s. Defending Home Waters and North America against pirates attempting to steal from the British Empire was the ship’s main mission.

England detached Feversham from her anti-piracy routine to send her to help fend off an attack in Quebec. She never made it, sinking while in transit on October 7, 1711. Though the British tried hard to find her after she sank, it wasn’t until 1996 that treasure hunters uncovered coins and silverware belonging to the Feversham.
