Archaeology Notes

NX94SW 8004 c. 92 40

N54 45 W3 40

Location formerly entered as NX 9274 4087 (N54 45 W3 40), and also entered as Unlocated.

Possibly in English waters.

Possibly on map sheet NX93NW.

(Classified as schooner, with cargo of slates: date of loss cited as 9 February 1900). Dorothea: this vessel was lost on Robin Rigg Bank. Capt. Roberts.

74 tons [unspecified].

(Location of loss cited as N54 45.0 W3 40.0).

I G Whittaker 1998.

Neither Robin Rigg Bank nor the Middle Channel can be accurately located from the available map evidence. The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, and the loss of this vessel may have occurred within English waters.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 27 December 2001.

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. UKHO chart no. 1346 (1976, amended 1989) notes Robin Rigg [Bank] around N54 45 W3 40, about 6nm SE of Balcary Point [name: NX 829 493], to the S of Middle Channel, and apparently extending into English waters.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 15 October 2009.
