The map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are essentially arbitrary, being displaced from the unverified location of sighting that is cited in the primary account to fall within the area of RCAHMS coverage. It remains uncertain whether, when and where the vessel subsequently stranded or foundered.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
