Motor Stern Trawler (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Bishop Burton as Motor Stern Trawler (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Bishop Burton was a motor stern trawler, likely used for fishing, and was lost in the North Sea. It sank in 1963 after colliding with the coaster *Maid of Norway*; all 12 crew members were drowned, and the wreck was noted for its contribution to post-war fishing industry safety discussions.
