Originally known as Pellworm, this German sea tugboat played a significant role during the civil operations at the end of the Second World War. In 1980, it was renamed Boreas and sailed under the Panamanian flag. However, due to involvement in drug smuggling, the ship was taken out of service. To preserve its history and create an artificial reef, Boreas was intentionally sunk at its current location on January 23, 1989.
