The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. It remains uncertain whether or where the vessel was subsequently washed ashore.
The quasi-administrative area assigned to this record is also arbitrary. The vessel may have foundered within the quasi-administrative area defined as Maritime - Moray.
