This wreck is charted as a Historic Wreck in a about 4m depth of water on the W side of the Eilean Rubha an Ridire, which afford the remains considerable protection from the locally strong flood tide. The seabed type is not noted and the complex submarine topography of the area is not indicated in detail.

The low but rocky islands of the Eilean Rubha an Ridire are situated on the N side of the relatively narrow SE entrance to the Sound of Mull. They rise from a steep slope above the deep glacial trough to the W and SW, and are themselves protected from the SE by the prominent projecting headland of the Rubha an Ridire [name: NM 733 399].
