The MARCHIONESS of Stafford, from Skye to Leith, was stranded at Skye during a heavy gale on the 11th instant.
Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 5736, London, Tuesday September 24 1822.
NMRS, MS/829/71 (no. 6233).
The map sheet assigned to this record is entirely arbitrary. It remains uncertain on which side of the island the stranding occurred.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably suggesting her successful recovery.
