What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Altmark as Wreck. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Altmark was a German steam merchant ship captured by the British in 1917 during World War I; it was later sunk in 1940 during the Second World War while being towed as a target ship, with no reported loss of life. Its wartime history and use as a target vessel highlight its significance in naval military training.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
