What is recorded here

Stanley Castle is a 19th-century steamship lost at the Eyemouth harbour entrance, its exact position marked only to the nearest hundred metres. The North Sea keeps the precise deck and boiler room hidden, forcing imagination to complete what measurement refuses. Eyemouth has watched shipping since human memory, so the gap between known and lost is small enough to walk into.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Stanley Castle: Eyemouth Harbour Entrance, North Sea as Steamship (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Stanley Castle is not a medieval fortress but a 19th-century steamship recorded at the entrance to Eyemouth Harbour on the North Sea. It is remembered as part of Scotland's maritime history and the development of coastal navigation infrastructure.
