The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially tentative, being derived from the vessel's route (as described by Whittaker) and the presence of Scalpaigh (Scalpay) island.
An alternative location within the area of the North Minch may be suggested. There are several islands with Scalpaigh or Scalpay place-names, including that centred at NG 23 95.
The classification cited by Whittaker remains unverified, but is accepted. The form of the vessel's name that is cited in the primary account is preferred.
