The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. This vessel apparently standed within the River Basin (ND35SE 66.01) at Wick or Pulteneytown Harbour (ND35SE 66.00), which is centred at ND 36820 50670. The vessel may have stranded immediately below Wick Harbour Bridge (ND35SE 69), which is situated at ND 36535 50952.
The remains of this vessel were presumably removed without delay from this constrained location.
