(Classified as Sloop: no cargo specified, but date of loss cited as 1824). Lady Seaforth: this vessel was wrecked near Tanera.

(Location of loss cited as N58 0.0 W5 26.0).

I G Whittaker 1998.

The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Tanera Mor and Tanera Beg are the largest islands within the Summer Isles group, which is situated on the N side of the broad entrance to Loch Broom. It remains uncertain whether the loss occurred on the islands or the adjacent mainland.

The vessel presumably stranded.
