NLO: Pentland Firth [name centred ND 35 81].
(No classification or cargo specified: date of loss cited as June 1847). Unknown: this vessel was wrecked in the Pentland Firth.
Registration: Prussian.
(Location of loss cited as N58 40.0 W3 10.0).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location that is cited by Whittaker. The loss may have occurred within the area designated as Maritime - Orkney.
It remains unclear whether the vessel foundered or stranded: the former appears more probable.
