Newburgh Wreck on 29th July 2022
I am struggling to get more information on this wreck in the Ythan Estuary which is larger than the usual salmon cobles along this coast. One website states that it is the remains of the Halcyon, a boat which came ashore during a storm in 1854 with the loss of eight lives. Canmore has this wreck on the other side of the channel but it may have shifted in a storm.
I have recently found this :- "The wreck is all that remains of the Leith trawler ‘Keremma’. On 21 April 1976, the salvage vessel ‘Minto’ was towing her to Fraserburgh when both boats ran aground at the mouth of the estuary."
