NLO: Greenock [name: NS 280 765].
Possibly on map sheet NS27NE.
Greenock, 7th Mar. The new ship CITY OF FLORENCE, one of the City Line of Clyde and Calcutta traders, has been aground in the river for the last two days. [See sailings from the Broomielaw in List of yesterday].
Source: LL, No. 16,507, London, Saturday, March 9 1867.
NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 11216).
The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. The stranding may have occurred within the quasi-administrative area that is designated as Maritime - Renfrewshire.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably confirming her successful recovery.
