	Rattray Head - Wrecks
		Your photos of wreck B look consistent with HMS Erne which was 'wrecked at Rattray Head' 6/2/1915 in an easterly gale with no loss of life - she went aground and was abandoned with back broken.
		The photos show what was clearly a steel ship with very fine 'lines' forward ie: built for speed, not cargo use and your size ties in nicely with the Erne - she was 68mts long and had beam of 7mts.
		The Erne was a fairly old ship when wrecked (built 1903 as a Type 'E' Palmer Class Destroyer) and was probably stripped of armament, engines etc where she lay.
