NX85SE 8020 c. 854 523
N54 51.1 W3 47.1
NLO: Urr Waterfoot [name centred NX 855 518].
Not to be confused with NX95SW 8010.
(No classification specified: cargo cited as timber, and date of loss as 6 November 1816). North Star: this vessel stranded off Burton Point, near water of Urr. Capt. Muir.
(Location of loss cited as N54 50.0 W4 45.0).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. Burton Point is not noted as such on the 1997 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map.
