NLO: Greenock [name: NS 282 760].
Glasgow, 17th Jan. The ELIZABETH (smack), McKenzie, from Paisley to Kilmun, with drain tiles, sunk at her anchors off the Greenock steamboat quay: crew saved.
Source, LL, No. 17,709, London, Thursday, January 19 1871.
NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 11935).
The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. The 'Greenock steamboat quay' is probably to be equated with the Custom House Quay (NS27NE 98.00), which is at NS 28405 76180.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably suggesting her successful recovery.
