The
Electro Schiff Antilla was built in Germany and was
launched in March 1939. At the outbreak of world war two
she was in the Caribbean and sought harbor in Aruba. Here
she and other German ships were blocked in by Allied
warships. 10.May 1940 it was decided to confiscate all
German ships in Aruba, but this was refused by the Captain
on Antilla and the crew set the ship ablaze and opened the
valves. A few hours later she sank in Malmok Bay and laid
herself at rest on a depth of 18 meter.
