The location assigned to this record remains unverified and the significance of the statement by Whittaker that the incident occurred while the vessel was alongside remains unclear. The location cited may record the final disposal of the wreck remains.

The UKHO chart (no. 1994, published 1974, revised 1994) does not indicate this wreck at the cited location, which falls about 0.58nm NE of the Clydeport Ocean Terminal (NS27NE 56), Greenock, in a charted depth of about 11m, and to the N of Tail of the Bank. The seabed slopes gradually towards the W; no seabed type is recorded nearby. The cited location lies close to moooring buoy D41, which indicates that there is no protruding obstruction.

The UKHO chart (no. 1994, published 1974, revised 1994) notes Tail of the Bank to the E of the outer end of the defined channel of the River Clyde. The name is centred at N55 57.4 W4 45.1 [NS 282 771].
