It involved the robbery at gunpoint of 8,183 ounces of gold valued at about £30,000 by a party of thieves from the barque ''Nelson'' as she lay at anchor in Hobsons Bay off Melbourne on the night of 1–2 April 1852.〔(Daring piracy )〕〔(Piracy on Board an Australian Ship )〕 ==''Nelson''== ''Nelson'' was a barque of 603 29/100th tons New Measurement, 128.2 x 26.9 x 19.4 feet, built at Dumbarton, Scotland by Denny & Rankine in 1844. Her original owners were Lewis, Alexander, John and James Potter, Peter Denny and Daniel Rankine. She spent many years in the trade between London and Melbourne. Years after the robbery, ''Nelson'' hit rocks and sank near the Seven Stones at the entrance to the English Channel on 7 October 1870 while on a voyage from Aguilas to the Tyne, drowning the master, Captain Henderson and two of her crew. The ship’s figurehead was recovered and on 25 February 2004 was sold at auction at Knightsbridge for £3760.
