Surveying Details
-------------------------
10 July 1976. A new wreck was located at 57 45 32N, 003 40 25W by echosounder. The site was examined by close sounding. The least depth by echosounder was 26 metres in a general sea bed depth of 26.5 metres. The sea bed is made of sand. The site was located during investigation of shoal soundings. It is thought to be very small wreck. The site was actually located on the 31 July 1975.
Report by HMS ECHO dated 20 March 1976.
Hydrographic Office 1995.
(No classification or cargo specified: date of loss cited as 10 August 1942). Young Sid (possibly): reported to be a small wreck.
(Location cited as N57 45.53 W3 40.42).
I G Whittaker 1998.
UKHO chart no. 115 (1978, revised 1993) charts this wreck [Wk] 7.1nm SE of Tarbat Ness and 6.5nm NW of Burghead. No seabed type is indicated nearby.
In the absence of reported diver survey or detailed description, the equation of this wreck with the reported loss of the Young Sid (as is suggested by Whittaker) must be considered unverified.
Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 24 February 2011.
