What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kaparika as Steamship (period Unassigned)-(1917). 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 *Kaparika* was a steamship built in 1917, later identified as a collier of Scottish origin. It was lost in 1940 during World War II when it struck a mine off the coast of Ayrshire, resulting in the deaths of all 35 crew members; the wreck remains a significant wartime shipwreck and diving site in Scottish waters.
