Corry, Isle of Skye, 9th Feb [1824]. `The UNION of Leith, Goodman, from Bangor to Berwick, was driven on shore in the Bay of Glenelg [Glenelg Bay] during a gale of wind on Friday last. The crew, materials and provisions saved, and it is expected the vessel, when lightened: at present she is on a bank of sand, with 12 feet water in her hold.' [Record received incomplete].

The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably suggesting her successful recovery.
