Archaeology Notes

NO76SW 8010 c. 746 627

N56 45.3 W2 25

NLO: Montrose [name: NO 720 572]

Montrose Bay [name centred NO 743 613].

See also NO75NW 8107.

Possibly within Maritime - Angus.

Location formerly entered as NO c. 74 62 [N56 45 W2 26]).

Aberdeen, 8th March. 'A sloop was seen to go down off Montrose Ness, in a violent gale of wind on Wednesday. Another sloop said to belong to Berwick, came on shore near the North Esk the end of last week.'

Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 6932, London, Tuesday March 11 1834.

NMRS, MS/829/71 (no. 6928).

(Location entered as NO c. 746 627 [N56 45.3 W2 25]). The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary and it remains unclear where the vessel stranded. The River North Esk enters Montrose Bay through an extensive area of sand dunes at NO 746 627. In part, the river here forms the administrative boundary between Angus and Aberdeenshire; the loss may have occurred within the quasi-administrative area designated as Maritime - Angus.

The name Montrose Bay applies to the ill-defined and shallow indentation that extends towards the N from Scurdie Ness and the mouth of the River South Esk.

The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
