Project SAMPHIRE was designed to bring professional marine archaeological expertise into local maritime communities. The central focus of the project was to record the unique knowledge of maritime cultural heritage sites on the seabed (and intertidal zone) that is held within local communities. This was done through a programme of face-to-face community engagement, allowing knowledge exchange in both directions. The reported sites were then investigated by the SAMPHIRE Project team with the maximum involvement of local community members at every level, including fieldwork and desk-based research. The project aimed to foster a wider understanding of and interest in local maritime heritage and to promote the stewardship of this valuable local resource.

| 1038751 | RECORDING | FIELD VISIT | An anchor was accidentally recovered in the mid-1990s during dredging by the Sparkling Star, a Kinlochbervie-based fishing boat. The anchor was recovered near the wreck of the Manipur, a well-known local wreck and fishing spot known by locals as the copper wreck. However, the Manipur is a much more recent wreck (sunk in 1940) and is clearly unrelated to this anchor, although the anchor was reportedly dredged from a location immediately adjacent to the Manipur. The findspot is very isolated and without navigational hazards so it seems to be entirely coincidental that wreck material of two very different dates should be recovered in such close proximity. [...] | April 2013 |
| 1038753 | RECORDING | DIVER INSPECTION | A possible wreck site at Eilean an Ròin was reported to the SAMPHIRE project by recreational divers Derek and Kay Dillon. They described the discovery of copper bolts on the seabed. [...] | 13 August 2013 |
| 1038764 | RECORDING | DIVER INSPECTION | One of a number of wreck sites reported by recreational divers Derek and Kay Dillon. Mr. Dillon described the site as 'a mass of timbers, a large arrowhead shaped anchor with flukes, a massive iron block of some kind and some old bottles with corks intact, lying in and around a sandy gully at a depth of approximately 20 metres’. He was able to provide an exact location for the wreck as well as a sketch plan and high quality stills and video. [...] | 30 July 2013 |
