No description of this wreck, or its location, is apparently available. The loss of this vessel is not cited as such by IG Whittaker (1998), but may be equated with the cited loss of the General MacDonald, for which see NH75NE 8010.
The major artillery fortification of Fort George (NH75NE 3.00) is at NH 76079 56674.
