The Unity (Wreck)

 ship wreck, interesting place, draw only border

UNITY, trawler. BUILT 1975, SUNK 1994
SHE WAS A FINE EXAMPLE of a Peterhead trawler, but despite her fine landings record, in the end she ran out of time, writes Kendall McDonald.
Unity was her name, PD209 her number. Twenty-four metres long and of 75 tons, she was a 600hp fishing trawler, built at Peterhead and owned by David Foreman. Lossiemouth on the eastern edge of Moray Firth was her home port.
In 1994 her time was up and she was decommissioned. Her engine was taken out in Lossiemouth Harbour, then she was taken under tow to end her days as scrap at Invergordon in the Cromarty Firth. But she never made it.
She had hardly started on that last voyage when the tow snapped and she foundered a few miles out to become one of the most popular dives in the area. Locals regard the Unity as theirs, a sort of "home wreck" for all the divers for miles around.
