NLO: Cape Wrath [name: NC 256 750].
See also NB96SE 8003.
Formerly entered in error within quasi-administrative area Maritime - Western Isles.
(Classified as Tanker(?): no cargo specified, but date of loss cited as 15 July 1940). Unknown: this vessel was torpedoed by U-58 at German position AM3659, and observed to break her back.
(Location of loss cited as N58 29.80 W5 28.60).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from this unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. This falls about 32km SW of Cape Wrath.
The loss of this vessel is possibly to be equated with the wreck that is entered as NB96SE 8003.
