Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Sms Munchen: Fidra, Firth of Forth as Cruiser (20th Century)-(1921). 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.
SMS München was a German light cruiser lost in 1916 during World War I after striking a mine in the North Sea, not the Firth of Forth; the wreck listed near Fidra is likely a misattribution. The vessel sank on 6 June 1916, resulting in the loss of 16 crew members, and represents a significant wartime casualty of the German Imperial Navy.
