The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially tentative, being derived from the unverified location that is cited by Whittaker. The date cited is presumably that of the reported discovery of wreckage.
The Cuillin Sound is not noted as such on the 1999 edition of the OS map, but the term is applied to the waters between Rum (to the SW) and the SE part of Skye (to the NE). The Point of Sleat, the southernmost point of Skye, is at NM 562 990.
