The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially tentative, being derived from the location of discovery of the boat that is cited by Whittaker. The date cited is presumably that of report, rather than loss. The major artillery fortification of Fort George (NH75NE 3.00) is at NH 76079 56674.
The discovery of the boat may represent the loss of a vessel offshore, possibly beyond Scottish waters.
