Taurus [possibly]: North Sea

Craft (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Taurus [possibly]: North Sea as Craft (period Unassigned). 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 *Taurus* was a 19th-century British merchant vessel that sank in the North Sea in 1842 after striking a reef near the Shetland Islands. All 12 crew members were lost, along with a cargo of coal bound for Leith; its wreck remains an important example of early 19th-century coastal trade in the North Sea region.
