Archaeology Notes

NW97SE 8022 c. 980 728

N55 0.5 W5 9.6

NLO: Corsewall Point [name: NW 980 728].

Formerly entered as NW97SE 9064 at cited location NW 9785 7230 (N55 0.2 W5 9.6).

Stranraer, 16th Jan. [recd. 16th, per M.T. at 11 a.m.]. The JACQUES ANTONIN (brig), of Marseilles, Artigues, from Rouen to Liverpool, in ballast, having sprung a leak and lost sails, got on shore in Slocklaw Bay, near Carslaw (?Corsewall) Light yesterday, and is a total wreck.

Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 14,285, London, Monday January 16 1860.

NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 9787).

(Classfied as brig: no cargo specified, but date of loss cited as 14 January 1860). Jaques Antonin (Jacques?): this vessel was wrecked at Slouchlaw Bay, to the S of Corsewall Point. Capt. Antonia? Artique?

Registration: Marseilles.

(Location of loss cited as N54 55.67 W5 11.0).

I G Whittaker 1998.

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. Slouchlaw Bay is not noted as such on the 1996 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map, but Corsewall Point Lighthouse (NW97SE 15) is at NW 98075 72614.

The date of loss that is cited by Whittaker remains unverified, but is accepted.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 17 November 2006.
