The wrecks of eight historic (19th or early 20th century) fishing vessels at
Kilspindie have been designated as maritime
scheduled monuments. Two wrecks of XT-craft, training versions of the
X craft, can be seen. In 1946, the craft were towed to the bay, then moored to a concrete block and used for target practice by aircraft of the
Royal Air Force. The wrecks of the submarines lie much closer to the low-water mark than the high-water mark, and tides in the bay rise very quickly. ==See also==
