CAICOS EXPRESS Broward County

This 188 foot Dutch freighter was originally built in 1956 as the Waalborg. She had a 29 foot beam and was powered by a single diesel engine. Sunk as an artificial reef on November 12, 1985, some sources claim that the ship had been used as a set for the popular television series, Miami Vice. The Caicos Express now rests in 240 feet of water on the Rodeo Reef Site. This wreck is not recommended for recreational divers due to her extreme depth.
