Archaeology Notes

NJ90NE 8187 c. 961 057

N57 8.5 W2 4

NLO: Aberdeen [name: NJ 95 05].

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

9 August 1875, DUTHIES, 13 yrs old, of Aberdeen, wooden lugger, 12 tons, 6 crew, Master and Owner C. Mavor, Aberdeen, departed Aberdeen for fishing, in ballast, wind E4, stranded at entrance to Aberdeen Harbour.

Source: PP Abstracts Returns of Wrecks and Casualties on Coasts of the UK 1875 - 76 (1876 [C.1632] LXVII.191).

NMRS, MS/829/69 (no. 2582).

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.

The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), suggesting that she was successfully refloated.
