NLO: Kinnaird Head [name: NJ 998 676].
Not to be confused with NK08SW 8007.
(Classified as wooden barge: no cargo specified, but date cited as 14 January 1920). No. 2: this vessel broke from [her] tow (Criterion) 5 miles NW of Kinnaird Head. Sank?
(Location of loss cited as N57 47.00 W2 5.00).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker.
The location and date cited by Whittaker are apparently those of her breaking tow. It remains uncertain whether, when or where she subsequently stranded or (more probably) foundered.
