What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Penola: Upper Firth of Clyde as Auxiliary Schooner (20th Century)-(1940). 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 *Penola* was an auxiliary schooner built in the early 20th century and active in Scottish waters during World War II. It was lost in 1940 in the Upper Firth of Clyde, likely due to enemy action or wartime incident, though no lives or cargo loss is specifically recorded; its significance lies in contributing to Scotland's maritime war effort.
