(Classified as [full-rigged] ship: no cargo specified, but date of loss cited as July 1739). Molly: this vessel was lost in Loch Sunart. All gone to Strontian Harbour for sale, September 1740. Capt. Gray. Constructive total loss?

The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. It remains uncertain whether this vesel stranded or foundered; the former appears the more probable.
The unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker falls inland.
