What is recorded here

SWR297 marks an unknown obstruction in County Down waters, recorded at just one metre depth. The shallowness suggests a rock, a broken keel or a discarded post rather than a deep ship loss. Anyone sailing past that coast must still respect the marker, because the smallest wreck can open the largest hole.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies Recorded wreck SWR297 as Unknown (obstruction?). It was lost in Unknown. Recorded depth: 1m.
