Wick, 5th Jan. The CROWN (brig), of Stromness, (with oak), went on shore during the late gales at Dunvegan, Isle of Skye. She is reported not to be much damaged, and it is supposed would be got off.

The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. Loch Dunvegan is an extensive loch set into the NW side of Skye, to the W of Waternish.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably suggesting her successful recovery.
