What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Sea Empress as Wreck from the Modern period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The Sea Empress was an oil tanker that ran aground on 15 February 1996 near the coast of Wales, spilling over 72,000 tonnes of crude oil and causing significant environmental damage. The incident led to stricter maritime safety regulations and highlighted the risks of oil tanker operations in UK waters.
