What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Hongisto as Wreck from the 20fed Ganrif period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The *Hongisto* was a Finnish steamship that sank in 1940 during the Second World War after being torpedoed by a German U-boat in the Baltic Sea. The wreck is of historical significance due to its wartime context and the loss of several crew members, though exact numbers are not well documented.
