Glasgow, 6th Dec., for several days pieces of wreck, planks, battens, etc., have been washed ashore on the banks of the Firth of Forth. At Dysart, and at Wemyss, portions of wreckage have been landed, having a burnt appearance, and fears are entertained that a vessel has been burnt at sea. At Leven, some days ago, an abandoned fishing boat was picked up.

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from one of the reported locations of discovery of wreckage. The vessel may have foundered offshore, possibly beyond the quasi-administrative area that is designated as Maritime - Fife. The date cited is also that of the reported discovery of wreckage.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
