In the shallow waters a few hundred yards off the coast of Aruba, the wreckage of the German freighter Antilla can be found. The tip of the mast and a portion of the bridge protrude from the ocean to this day, like two artificial island from steel and serve as a welcome resting place for seagulls and pelicans.

This is the largest WW II ship wreck in the Caribbean at ~400 ft. The ship was scuttled by its captain on May 10, 1940. Wide open sections allow divers to penetrate the wreck with ease. But some parts of the wreck are unstable.
