To evaluate how biology and archaeology are related, we must be able to relate them accurately in space. Unfortunately we had moved away from Fife before being able to conduct these studies at Cellardyke.

By 2003, however, a number of amateur enthusiasts including ourselves, had managed to put together an accurate deck plan for the SS Thesis. An iron built vessel from the 1890's, the Thesis is quite a different type of wreck site to that at Kinlochbervie. It may be, however, that the organisms living on her would reflect changes in patterns of her preservation.
