(Location of loss entered as NO c. 825 706 [N56 49.60 W2 17.20]). The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Gourdon Harbour (NO87SW 46.00) is centred at NO 82570 70620.
The remains of the vessel were presumably removed without delay from this constrained location.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
