(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order designates as a restricted area for the purposes of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 an area near the Shetland Islands round the site of what is thought to be the wreck of a vessel which is of historical and archaeological importance. No part of the site is above the high water mark of ordinary spring tides.

This Order corrects an error in the position of the centre of the site of an historic wreck to which the Protection of Wrecks (Designation No. 2) Order 1990 was intended to relate; that Order is accordingly revoked.
