The map sheet and quasi-administrative area assigned to this record are arbitrary, being derived from the recorded location of discovery of wreckage. The vessel probably foundered out at sea, beyond Scottish waters.
Neither the classification nor the cargo of this vessel are apparently recorded, but she was presumably of considerable size. Her loss is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
