Archaeology Notes

NL94NW 8027 unlocated

NLO: Skerryvore [name: NL 840 263]

Tiree [name centred NM 00 45].

Formerly entered as NL82NW 8014 (unlocated).

HOPE, 1820, 94 ton, of Cork, from Belfast, staves.

Source: PP Return of all shipwrecks on the Skerrynore Rock near the island of Tiree or within 20 miles from 1st January 1801.

NMRS, MS/829/67 (no. 629).

(No classification cited: cargo cited as staves, and date of loss as 4 December 1819). Hope: this vessel was wrecked on the coast of Terry (?), West Highlands. Capt. Mountjoy. (Tiree?). Registration: Cork.

(Location of loss cited as N56 30.0 W7 0.0).

I G Whittaker 1998.

(Formerly entered as NL82NW 8014). The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, as the available evidence does not specifically place the loss on Skerryvore. Skerryvore Lighthouse (NL82NW 1) is at NL 8384 2629.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 26 September 2005.

The map sheet assigned to this record is arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. A location of loss on Tiree appears probable, but It remains unclear on which side of the island the vessel stranded.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 25 April 2008.
