Full Description

NMRS Report: (27/04/2007 14:32:31)
ND37NW 8049 unlocated

NLO: Pentland Firth [name centred ND 35 81].

(No classification or cargo specified: date of loss cited as March 1745). No Name: recruiting officer and 16 people drowned when boat upset in the Pentland Firth.
(Location cited as N58 40.0 W3 10.0).
I G Whittaker 1998.

The map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location that is cited by Whittaker. The loss may have occurred within the area designated as Maritime - Orkney.
It remains unclear whether the vesel foundered or stranded: the former appears more probable.
Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 27 April 2007.
