Steamship (period Unassigned)-(1925)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Wearsider as Steamship (period Unassigned)-(1925). 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.
The *Wearsider* was a steamship built in 1925, later involved in World War II as a supply vessel. It was lost in 1941 after being torpedoed by a German U-boat in the North Atlantic, resulting in the deaths of all 35 crew members; its loss highlighted the vulnerability of supply lines during the Battle of the Atlantic.
