Stranraer, 10th Jan. 'The topmast of a sloop, supposed to be from 40 to 50 tons (and not the royal masts of a ship or barque, as stated yesterday) was discovered above water off the Ebbstone, and has been brought here.' [Record received incomplete].
NMRS, MS/829/71 (no. 7274).
(Classified as sloop: no cargo specified, but date of loss cited as 9 January 1838). Unknown: this vessel sank off [the] Ebbstone, mast tops above water.
(Location of loss cited as N54 58.50 W5 11.50).

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary.
The date cited is evidently that of report, rather than loss.
The classification cited by Whittaker remains unverified, but is accepted.
