A1949 1 porthole: from seabed.
(Name cited as Richard Croft: no detailed location or depth of water cited).
NMRS, MS/829/35.
The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative.
This is probably the loss 'off the NE coast of Coll' to which Whittaker is referring in his caption to the lower photograph on p. 291. The misappellation 'Milford Haven' refers to the port of registry, rather than the name of the vessel.
