(Classified as wooden brig, with cargo of salt: date of loss cited as 27 November 1885). This vessel stranded at Rerwick Bay, Sutherland.

The map sheet assigned to this record is arbitrary, being derived from the location (N58 W4) cited by Whittaker, as is the attribution of the loss to the North Sea rather than the Pentland Firth. Rerwick Bay cannot be located from the available map evidence.
