NLO: Cardwell Bay [name: NS 250 774]

Gourock [name: NS 230 770]

Gourock Bay [name centred NS 247 777].

Possibly on map sheet NS27NW.

Location formerly entered as NS c. 25 77 [N55 57 W4 48].

17 November 1893, MAGGIE, 20 years, not reg. Wood fishing smack. 5 ton. 3 men. Master W. Robertson. Owner J. Shedeon, Saltcoats, Ayrshire. Saltcoats to Gourock. Ballast. Wind N10. Cardwell Bay.

NMRS, MS/829/68 (no. 1176).

(Classified as wooden smack, in ballast: date of loss cited as 17 November 1893). Maggie: this vessel stranded [in] Cardwell Bay. Capt. Robertson.

Not registered. Built 1873. 5 tons [unspecified].

(Location of loss cited as N55 57.42 W4 48.00).

I G Whittaker 1998.

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, and the loss of this vessel may have occurred within the area of map sheet NS27NW.

Cardwell Bay is not noted as such on the 1995 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map, but the current edition of the OS (GIS) MasterMap applies the name to an ill-defined area around the S side of Gourock Bay. UKHO chart no 1994 (1974, revised 1994) applies the name to a small drying area which projects towards the SE from the SE side of Gourock Bay.
