What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Jeria: Hoy, Atlantic as Steam Trawler (20th Century)-(1929). 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 *Jeria* was a steam trawler built in the early 20th century and registered in Scotland. It was lost in 1929 while fishing in the Atlantic off the Orkney Islands; the exact cause of loss is not recorded, but such vessels were often lost to harsh weather or mechanical failure. No details of lives or cargo lost are available, but as a working fishing vessel, it reflects the maritime industry's risks during that era.
