West-Vlieland (also known as Westeyende) (West Frisian: West-Flylân) was a village on the island of Vlieland in the province Friesland, the Netherlands. It was gradually lost to the advancement of the sea up to 1736, when only two houses remained. The former site of the village is now 15 fathoms (27 m) below sea level. The village had its own town hall, church, school, poorhouse and mill which was built in 1647.[1]
