An old shipwreck, believed to be the SS Tobol, has been uncovered off the northeast coast of Scotland.

An old shipwreck, believed to be the World War I vessel the SS Tobol, has been uncovered off the northeast coast of Scotland, solving what discoverers say is a '107-year-old maritime mystery.'The merchant vessel was among several detected during geophysical and environmental surveys for a forthcoming offshore wind farm off the Scottish coast, MarramWind. ScottishPower and Shell, partners in developing the proposed wind farm, said data gathered by sonar scans helped discover the wreck.

Diver Steve Mortimer told the BBC that the wreck is a 'really remarkable time capsule.' The Tobol had been missing for over 100 years when it was discovered during the survey work for the MarramWind project.
