The following record is taken from 'The Maritime Archaeology of the South Wales Coal Trade Final Report' [1060] [1061]  [122]

The Strathnairn was a 9 year old single deck steel screw steamship of the port of Glasgow, official number 121347, and classified by Lloyds as 100 A1. Owned at the time of loss by Strathnairn Steamship Company Ltd., it was built in 1906 by A. Rodger & Co. at Port Glasgow. The vessel was 4,366 and 2,812 gross and net register tons respectively. Length was 370ft (112.8m), breadth 52.2ft (15.91m) and depth 17.6ft (5.36m). Power was supplied by a set of three-cylinder triple expansion engines, generating 354nhp from steam supplied by three steel boilers.

Bound for Archangel in Northern Russia with a cargo of coal loaded in Penarth, the vessel was torpedoed by U-22 on 15 June 1915 and sunk. The loss is recorded as being 25 miles north-east of the Bishops and Clerks (rocks), off the north coast of Pembrokeshire.

The UKHO wreck report is number 9896. The position for this wreck lies outside territorial waters. It is last noted as having been surveyed in 1980. Least depth was 76m in a general depth of 94m and the sidescan anomaly was 130m long. This suggests that the wreck was partly intact at that date. Orientation was 045/225 degrees.
