The casino gambling ship Club Royale of Palm Beach County, Florida, was lost at sea on August 2, 1995. The 234-foot vessel sank before dawn in rough seas churned up by Hurricane Erin, about 90-miles east of Port Canaveral, Florida. The captain and two crewmen were lost at sea. No passengers were on board the Club Royale at that time. The Club Royale operated for exactly one month doing twice-a-day gambling cruises to nowhere when it sank. It's estimated that very few chips left the casino in the 30-day operation, and those chips that did survive are considered quite rare. A 2nd ship began sailing on 1/5/96 and stopped on 4/29/96. This ship used the Chipco chips that soon after started fading. The entire rack has entered the collectors market. Ship info supplied by John Benedict
