What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dilston Castle as Steam Trawler (period Unassigned)-(1917). 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.
Dilston Castle was a steam trawler built in 1917, later converted for use as a collier. It was lost in 1940 during the Second World War, when it was bombed and sunk in the River Tyne, resulting in the deaths of all 35 crew members; the wreck remains a known diving site and a protected war grave.
