NLO: Point of Ardnamurchan [name: NM 415 675]
Sound of Mull [name centred NM 58 46].
(No classification specified: cargo cited as timber, and date as 1 December 1832). Unknown: wreckage [found] at Point of Ardnamurchan. Capt. McKinlay.
(Location of loss cited as N56 43.67 W6 114.50).

The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. The Point of Ardnamurchan itself forms an ill-defined projection at the end of a lengthy peninsula. Ardnamurchan (Point) Lighthouse (NM46NW 4.00) is at NM 41587 67473.
This record records the discovery of wreckage, apparently from a vessel which foundered offshore, possibly beyond Scottish waters. The date cited is presumably that of discovery, rather than loss.
