What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dettifoss [possibly]: North Channel as Steamship (20th Century). 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 *Dettifoss* was a 20th-century steamship wrecked in the North Channel, likely lost in the early 1900s due to navigational challenges in the area. It carried cargo, though no significant loss of life is recorded; its wreck remains a notable example of early 20th-century maritime trade in Scottish waters.
