The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. The extensive island of Soay lies to the SW of Skye, between Skye and Rhum (Rum).
The date and location cited by Whittaker are apparently those of the recorded discovery of wreckage. The vessel presumably foundered offshore.
Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 20 August 2008.
