The INVENTUS, McKinley, from Sligo to London, was run on shore at the Isle of Skye 9th inst., having struck on a rock, and would be obliged to discharge and repair. Part of the cargo was damaged.
Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 6674, London, Tuesday September 20 1831.
NMRS, MS/829/71 (no. 6792).
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.
