The shipwreck found in Sanday dates back to the 17th century and exemplifies unique maritime design, highlighting the cultural heritage of the Orkney Islands.
Wessex Archaeology, in collaboration with Historic Environment Scotland, is ensuring the preservation of the shipwreck by providing training and resources to local community members.
The rapid action taken by Orkney Islands Council, aided by the National Heritage Memorial Fund, underscores the importance of protecting at-risk heritage sites.
The conservation of the wreck, now housed in an 8-meter tank, will allow archaeologists to study its design and history crucial to our maritime legacy.
