(Classified as F[ishing] V[essel]: date of loss cited as as 18 November 1893). Maggie Kerr: this vessel stranded [in] Isle Ornsay [Isleornsay] Harbour.

(Location of loss cited as N57 9.0 W5 47.0).

I G Whittaker 1998.

The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Isleornsay is on the mainland (of Skye), within Sleat parish, and opposite (to the W of) the island of Ornsay. Ornsay harbour is presumably the area between Ornsay (to the SE) and the island of Skye (to the W and NW). The 1998 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map notes Harbour [NAT] around NG 705 128.
