The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. The citation of the loss as 'off Dunvegan' may indicate that the vessel stranded off Dunvegan Castle (NG 24NW 7.00) which is situated at NG 24740 49106.
Loch Dunvegan is an extensive loch set into the NW side of Skye, to the W of Waternish.
