8. Lost treasures of Antilla: The Antilla, sank in 1945 when German invaded Holland during World War II.

As the folk lore goes, the Antilla was anchored north of what is known now as the North Shore. The police rowed out to the ship and asked for their surrender.

The police returned to shore and allowed the skipper time to contemplate his decision. Instead, of surrendering to the enemy, the skipper opened up the seacock allowing the water to sweep into the Antilla.

As the cold water hit the boilers the boilers exploded causing the ship to sink. At least the enemy did not get possession of the new ship, the Antilla.

This ghost ship, as the locals call it, remains a tribute to the German soldiers from WWII.
