Note (25 July 2011)
(Entered at location NJ c. 395 643 [N57 39.9 W3 0.9]). The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Portgordon Harbour (NJ36SE 23) is centred at NJ 39550 64330.
Spey Bay (name centred NJ 37 67) forms an ill-defined embayment which extends over portions of several map sheets.
The remains of the vessel were presumably removed without delay from this constrained location.
