The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, there being apparently no accurate record of the location of loss. Ridley cites a location within the Flow but Larn and Larn locate the loss 'in the Scapa Flow area', which may allow it to be placed outside the Flow, in the Pentland Firth.
