About This Item

Smugglers Trove

Until about 150 years ago, Smuggling was a major activity on the Isle of Wight, the mainland population regarded the Isle of Wight almost as a foreign country, the inhabitants being potentially suspicious and hostile. Islanders nicknamed mainlanders as 'Overners'. The Isle of Wight with its sheltered coves and sandy beaches was ideal for smuggling and an ideal stepping stone onto the mainland. A broad beamed rowing boat with four or six oars could get from France in a few hours, or access a larger ship anchored offshore, transport 40 large casks to the beach. The casks would be carried by a team of smugglers up the beach and then hidden in caves such as those at Freshwater, in properties, for example,  under floorboards at Vernon Cottage in Shanklin Old Town.  This trackable has an Isle of Wight flag on it and is a Smuggler's Stash of Coins
