The *Spica of Riga* was a merchant vessel recorded as lost in 1916, likely during World War I, though the exact date and cause of its loss remain unclear. Its wreck is noted as an obstruction in Scottish waters, with precise coordinates recorded, but details on casualties, cargo, or broader historical significance are not well documented.
