The map sheet assigned to this record is arbitrary and several widely-separated locations have been suggested for this loss of this vessel:
Larn and Larn: 'North Minch: off the West coast' [NC07NW 8001]
Hydrographic Office: 'Loch Sunart' [NM66SW 8002]
Baird: 'off Gigha' [NR54NE 8001]
Moir and Crawford: '3 miles NW off Gigha' [NR64NE 8003]
Whittaker: 'of Gigha' [NR64NE 8003].
It appears most probable that the vessel was lost off Gigha
