The location, map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are arbitrary, and the equation of 'Isle Ornsay' or the 'island of Onsay' with Oronsay remains unverified. Alternative equations with Colonsay or Stronsay may be considered.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
