The map sheet and quasi-administartive area assigned to this record are essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. This falls about 20km NW of Cape Wrath.
The loss may have occurred within the quasi-administrative area designated as Maritime - Western Isles.
