Loch Inver [name centred NC 075 219]
Lochinver [name: NC 093 225].
(Classified as wooden auxiliary lugsail [lugger], in ballast: registration cited as UL 340, and date of loss as 26 January 1912). Bonnie Haven: this vessel was burnt at Rhu-Roe [Rubha Rodha], near Lochinvar [Lochinver].
Registration: Lochinver. Built 1895. 9 tons register. Length: 12m. Beam: 4m.
(Location of loss cited as N58 10.0 W5 30.0).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The location of loss assigned to this record is essentially tentative. That cited by Whittaker falls inland.
Rhu-Roe is presumably to be equated with Rubha Rodha, a promontory on the N side of the broad entrance to Loch Inver.
