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.
HMT Marsona was a requisitioned steam trawler that served as a minesweeper during World War II; it was lost in 1940 in the Inner Moray Firth, likely due to enemy action or operational hazards. No detailed records of lives or cargo lost are available, but its significance lies in its contribution to the Royal Navy’s coastal defense efforts during the war.
