 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): Steamship. Sank in March 3rd, 1917 by mines laid from the UB-78. After striking the mine the Meldon ran to Loch Buie to put ashore. It is unclear exactly what occurred but the crew were safely put ashore and the wreck sand with its stern toward the shore. Stern most intact part with fragmentation moving forward. The bow section itself rises vertically 5-6 metres from the seabed.
