Maritime record 13798 - FAITH: ARNISH POINT, STORNOWAY, LEWIS, NORTH MINCH

NB43SW 8053 c. 427 320
N58 12.1 W6 22.8

NLO: Stornoway [name: NB 425 330]
Cala Steornabhaigh [name centred NB 431 315]
Eilean na Cobhair [name: NB 426 320]
Rubha Airinis [name: 422 308].

Arnish Point is not noted as such on the 1997 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map but the name has been applied to wrecks around the rocks (Eilean na Cobhair) that support the S breakwater of Stornoway Harbour.
Whittaker places the stranding near 'Arnish Point lighthouse', by which he presumably means the beacon that is depicted on the map at NB 434 317.
