The 200-foot long M/V Sylvina Express II was sunk Friday, July 18, 2003, to become the West Palm Beach Fishing Club Reef. The Sylvina Express was built in 1966 in Flesburg, Germany, and initially sailed in northern European waters as a cargo carrier. The ship later sailed the Caribbean under the name Tiger in 1973, the Anne Nova in 1985, and the Dimar B and Cito in 1990. The ship, last registered in Belize, was seized off of Miami in 1999 when 450 kilograms of cocaine were found hidden in one of the masts.
