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). Primrose: [this vessel was] driven from moorings and stranded at [the] entrance to Aberdeen Harbour.
Not registered. 13 tons [unspecified].
(Location of loss cited as N57 8.50 W2 4.00).

(Location entered as NJ c. 961 057 [N57 8.5 W2 4]). 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. 961 057, 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.
The remains of the vessel were presumably removed without delay from this constrained location.
