NJ08SW 8008 unlocated

NLO: Tarbat Ness [name: NH 949 878].

Possibly within Maritime - Highland.

(Classified as sloop: no cargo specified, but date of loss cited as March 1869). Ann & Eliza: this vessel was lost off Tarbetness [Tarbat Ness].

Registration: Inverness. Built 1833. 15 tons burthern. Length: 10m. Beam: 3m.

(Location of loss cited as N57 50.00 W3 40.00).

I G Whittaker 1998.

The map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. It remains unclear whether this vessel was lost within the Dornoch Firth or out in the Moray Firth or North Sea; the former appears the more probable.

This vessel apparently foundered, possibly within the area that is designated Maritime - Highland.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 7 February 2011.
