What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Juniata: Point of Grimsetter, Inganess Bay, Orkney, North Sea as Tanker (20th Century)-(1939). 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 Juniata was a British tanker built in 1919 that was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat (U-46) on 25 May 1940 during the early stages of World War II, off the coast of Orkney in the North Sea. The ship was carrying a cargo of fuel oil, and all 36 crew members were lost in the attack, making it one of the tragic early losses for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary during the war.
