| Stroma. This small island continued to sustain a small, but rapidly diminishing, population at the time the photograph was taken. By 1962, the last residents had gone and the island is home now only to grazing sheep. |

I think that it is a photographic artefact created during an editing process rather than what looks, at first, like a sunken aircraft carrier. There's a similar phenomenon in SAR023946, at the mouth of Wick Harbour. |
