Overview
Tide is recorded as a cargo vessel near Scotland Dumfries And Galloway and connects it with 1973. The saved public record fixes the available name, type, time and place, but does not safely establish the voyage, cause, people or surviving hull. This fast account keeps those gaps visible instead of turning a map point into invented history.
The vessel and voyage
National Record of the Historic Environment — Historic Environment Scotland records Tide as a cargo vessel. The name is kept exactly as the public wreck record gives it. The saved material does not establish the owner, cargo, starting point, destination or purpose of the voyage unless those facts are stated above.
How it was lost
The saved record gives 1973 as the year connected with the loss. It does not say what caused the loss, so storm, collision, grounding, attack, fire and deliberate sinking must all remain open unless later evidence proves one of those causes.
Deaths and survival
The saved record names no confirmed people and gives no checked number for deaths or survivors. That silence does not mean that nobody died or that everyone escaped; it means the saved public evidence does not establish the human outcome.
What remains
The saved point is in or nearest to Dumfries And Galloway, at 54.27975, -5.56767. The saved material gives no useful account of the hull, cargo, depth, damage, burial or later recovery. A map point can mark the centre of a site or an approximate place, so it must not be treated as proof of the exact spread of remains.
Why it mattered
At present this record matters as a local lead, not as proof of a nationally important event. Its wider effect, local memory and any memorial are not established by the saved public evidence and should not be invented from the name alone.
