The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Proudfoot Rocks are not noted as such on the 1998 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map, but the name presumably applies to the extensive and prominent rocks around North Head (centred ND 383 507).
This vessel most probably stranded on the rocks, slipped back, and sank.
