What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Norseman's Bride: North Light, Fair Isle, North Sea as Motor Fishing Vessel (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Norseman's Bride was a motor fishing vessel lost in 1953 near Fair Isle in the North Sea during the Great Storm of that year, which caused widespread damage and loss of life across the North Sea region. The vessel was among several lost in the storm, which claimed over 500 lives in the UK and the Netherlands, and highlighted the vulnerability of coastal and fishing communities to severe weather.
