NMRS, MS/829/70 (no. 4559).

The map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are arbitrary, being derived from the reported location of discovery of wreckage. The vessel presumably foundered out at sea, probably beyond Scottiush waters.
Kiess or Keiss Bay is not noted as such on the 1999 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map.
The name cited for this vessel is probably incomplete; her loss of is apparently not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
