Surveying Details

-------------------------

12 September 1988. The identification of the object/wreck is doubtful. The keel appears to lie on a bearing of 315/135 degrees following the coastline, at 56 25 36N, 002 58 35W on aerial photographs dated 23 April 1983.

Source: OS Airphotos May 83.

Hydrographic Office 1995.

(Also formerly noted by Maritime Fife under their serial number MF NO32NE 8147 at cited locations NO 3978 2646 and NO 3982 2645).

Site recorded by Maritime Fife during the Coastal Assessment Survey for Historic Scotland, Fife Ness to Newburgh 1996.

(Classification formerly cited as Craft (possible): reclassified as Craft). The available ground photography records the lower hull of a heavily-framed vessel of a size which appears to be larger than that of a typical fishing vessel.

These remains may be equated with those recorded under NO32NE 8005.
