Archaeology Notes

NS32SW 8068 c. 329 227

N55 28.2 W4 38.6

NLO: Ayr [name: NS 335 223].

Not to be confused with NS32SW 8065.

The NELLY, Kean, from Newry to Ayr, is on shore on Ayr Bar.

Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 5676, London, Tuesday February 26 1822.

NMRS, MS/829/71 (no. 6184).

The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Ayr harbour (NS32SW 123.00) is centred at NS 32930 22754.

Ayr Bay is not noted as such on the 1998 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map. UKHO chart no. 2126 (1975, amended 1992) applies the name to the broad embayment between Irvine [name: NS 325 395] and Heads of Ayr [name: NS 284 188], and places the name around N55 29.4 W4 46.5 [NS 247 253].

The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably suggesting her successful recovery.
