The location and map sheet assigned to this record are essentially arbitrary. Camarin Rock is not noted as such on the 1996 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map.
No rig or means of fishing is specified for this vessel.
The date of loss cited by Whittaker differs from that cited in the primary account; the latter is preferred.
