The map sheet assigned to this record is arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. Whittaker assumes the cited tonnage to refer to tons burthern.
The place-name 'Fladdy' may apply to either Fladda-chuain (about 6km NW of Rubha Hunish, the northernmost point of Skye) or to the Eilean Flodigarry (to the E of the Trotternish peninsula).
