The Irish Crown Jewels, also known as the Jewels of the Order of St. Patrick, was a set of jewelled regalia created in 1831 for the Grand Master of the Order of St. Patrick. These jewels contained 394 precious stones taken from the English Crown Jewels of Queen Charlotte and the Order of the Bath star of her husband, George III. At today's prices, they were worth $20,000,000. They were last known to be in the strongroom safe at Dublin Castle on the 11th of June. The jewels were discovered missing on the 6th of July, 1907, when the safe was unlocked. The Irish & British Police conducted an investigation. A report naming the culprits was never released because it also allegedly involved members of the aristocracy who were complicit in drunken orgies there. Two names brought up in connection with the theft and the alleged orgies were army captain Richard Gorges and Frank Shackleton, brother of famed Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton. It was believed that the report claimed the jewellery was taken to Amsterdam and sold by one of the participants for £20,000. No items have ever been recovered, and many other theories were made afterwards.
