NLO: Keiss [name: ND 347 612].

Source: Shipping Intelligence, LL, No. 20,284, London, Friday May 2 1879.
NMRS, MS/829/70 (no. 4830).
The map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are arbitrary, being derived from the reported location of discovery of wreckage. The vessel presumably foundered out at sea, probably beyond Scottish waters.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 29 October 2004.
