N57 8.5 W2 4

NLO: Aberdeen [name: NJ 95 05]

Torry [name: NJ 950 048].

Location formerly entered as NJ c. 96 05 [N57 8 W2 4].

(Classified as wooden lugger, in ballast: date of loss cited as 3 November 1906). Fisher Lassie: [this vessel was] driven from mooring[s] at Torry, and stranded at the entrance to Aberdeen Harbour.

Not registered. Built 1898. 9 tons [unspecified].

(Location of loss cited as N57 8.75 W2 4.50).

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. Aberdeen Harbour (NJ90NE 7.00) is centred at NJ 95 05. The present entrance may be considered to lie at NJ c. 963 060, but this location reflects development towards the East through the construction of successive piers and breakwaters.

Torry is situated within the S side of the outer part of Aberdeen Harbour.
