What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Evstafii: Grif Skerry, Whalsay Skerries, North Sea as Pink (18th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The *Evstafii* was an 18th-century Russian pink that was lost in a storm near the Grif Skerry and Whalsay Skerries in the North Sea. The vessel was carrying cargo, likely related to trade between Russia and northern Europe, but no details of lives lost or the exact date of the wreck are recorded; its significance lies in its contribution to the maritime history of the region and the study of early Russian seafaring activity in northern waters.
