The steamship Bathori, built in 1892, was discovered stranded in Larbrax Bay on 5th November 1897. Owned by the Royal Hungarian Sea Navigation Company, she was en route to Glasgow with a general cargo from Fiume when she ran aground. For three months, the Bathori endured harsh weather while the Glasgow Salvage Association worked to remove part of her cargo, which included flour, almonds, dried fruit, and sulphur.
This cargo was transported to Glasgow by other steamers.
On 8th March 1898, the Bathori was successfully refloated and taken to Stranraer for temporary repairs. She finally reached Glasgow on 11th March, where the remaining cargo was unloaded, and she entered dry dock for further repairs. Today, the Bathori lies in the Solway Firth, within the region of Dumfries and Galloway, notable for her triple expansion engine. Her exact condition and diveability are not established.
