Possibly on map sheet NC27SE.

(Classified as Schooner, with cargo of hemp and tallow: date of loss cited as 20 October 1845). Unknown: this vessel stranded, bottom-up, near Cape Wrath.

(Location of loss cited as N58 38.0 W5 0.0).

The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker.
