The significance of this record remains unclear, and it is uncertain whether or not it represents the loss of a vessel. It may derive from an otherwise-unrecorded sonar contact.
The cited location falls about 26km ESE of Tiumpan Head, Lewis, and the loss may have occurred within the quasi-administrative area that is designated as Maritime - Western Isles.
The location cited by Whittaker remains unverified, and it is unclear what degree of accuracy is implied.
