NLO: Greenock [name: NS 280 765].
Possibly on map sheet NS27NW.
Greenock, 20th Dec. The new dredger at the West End Works drove from her anchors, came in contact with a pile which knocked a hole in her bottom, and she sunk this morning: crew saved.
Source: LL, No. 15,198, London, Monday, December 22 1862.
NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 10305).
The map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are essentially tentative. The location of the West End Works (which were presumably dredging operations) cannot be determined from the available map evidence.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 26 February 2007.
Loss (20 December 1862)
