Jan Van Ryswyck

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Jan Van Ryswyck as Steamship (period Unassigned)-(1924). 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.

The *Jan Van Ryswyck* was a steamship built in 1924 that was lost in 1940 during World War II after being torpedoed by a German U-boat in the North Atlantic. All 37 crew members were killed, and the ship was carrying a cargo of steel. Its loss is significant as it reflects the dangers faced by merchant vessels during the Battle of the Atlantic.
