Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Prinses Wilhelmina (possibly): West Sands, St Andrews Bay, North Sea as Craft (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The *Prinses Wilhelmina* was a Dutch merchant vessel that wrecked on the West Sands of St Andrews Bay, Scotland, in the North Sea, likely during a storm in the 18th or 19th century. Though the exact date and circumstances of its loss are unclear, such wrecks were common along these treacherous coasts, and it may have carried cargo typical of Dutch trade at the time.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
