The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative, being derived from the unverified location that is cited by Whittaker. Sandwood Bay is an extensive, sand-fringed and gently-curving indentation, which extends from NC c. 231 670 to NC c. 228 651.
The reference to this loss as taking place at or near Rispond appears incorrect. Rispond Fishing Station (NC46NE 1.00) which is situated in Loch Eriboll (to the E of Cape Wrath) around NC 45136 65409.
