The map sheet assigned to this record is arbitrary. The more precise location of wreck that is cited by Whittaker is not accepted. The classification cited by Whittaker remains unverified, but is accepted.

It remains unclear whether the vessel that was wrecked near Cape Wrath and that which sank near Lochinver were the same.
