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.

1038755 | DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNTS | ARCHAEOLOGY NOTES | A possible 18th century anchor was reported by Jimmy MacIntosh, skipper of the MV Nimrod, based at Kinlochbervie. Mr. MacIntosh was interviewed in his home and in the Kinlochbervie Hotel by the SAMPHIRE team on the 8th May 2013 during the community outreach phase of the project. He reported to the Project SAMPHIRE team that a large arrow-headed anchor had been seen at this location by divers diving from his boat around 1998. The anchor was located at the foot of a drying rock to the northwest of an island named ‘Na Cluasnadh’, outside the entrance to Loch Clash. [...] | 8 May 2013 |
1037404 | RECORDING | DIVER INSPECTION | John Beaton, an employee of SAMS and a contributor to SAMPHIRE 2013, provided the SAMPHIRE team with the location and description of a shipwreck in north Skye, near Ardmore Bay. According to John, the wreck is locally known as the Iris. John reported the location and coordinates as well as describing the wreck including copper sheathed hull remains, a bronze rudder gudgeon, coal, iron knees, pump, and chain pipes. [...] | 6 July 2014 |
1037384 | RECORDING | PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD | Dr Clare Ellis of Argyll Archaeology reported the remains of a wooden vessel eroding out of a sand dune on the Mull of Kintyre. Dr Ellis stated that the wreck measured 11.10 m long by approx. 4.10m wide (at surface of sand) with 37 visible upright timbers on the seaward side and 23 visible on the landward side. Dr Ellis also noted that the wreck contained wooden dowels and suggested it may have been carvel built. The photographs taken in the winter of 2013 (a period notable for severe storms and many coastal archaeological discoveries) show the ribs of a double-ended boat and possible traces of stern and stem posts. Dr Ellis stated that ‘a couple of years ago in the winter it got quite gouged out though I have never seen the base of the interior’. The most recent information suggests that the vessel is no longer visible, having been reburied under beach sand. There are no entries in the National Inventory for wreck sites in this immediate area. [...] | 1 October 2014 |
