Archaeology Notes

NO99NE 8003 unlocated

NLO: Stonehaven [name: NO 875 858].

Formerly entered as NO88NE 8013 (unlocated).

Not to be confused with NJ90SE 8003.

(Classified as iron, paddle steam trawler, in ballast: date of loss cited as 16 August 1900). Prince Consort: [this vessel was sunk in] collision 3 miles South of Cove (Spray). Capt. Laing. (North Shields reg?)

Registration: South Shields. Built 1874. 123grt. Length: 30m. Beam: 5m.

(Location of loss cited as N57 3.00 W2 3.50).

I G Whittaker 1998.

The map sheet and qwuasi-administrative area assigned to this record are essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker.

The Cove that is noted by Larn and Larn cannot be identified. This may be Cove Bay (name: NJ 95 01), although cross-reference to Aberdeen (rather than Stonehaven) would then appear more appropriate.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 29 October 2001.
