Archaeology Notes

NS32SW 8080 c. 329 227

N55 28.2 W4 38.6

NLO: Ayr [name: NS 335 223].

Not to be confused with NS32SW 8128.

Ayr, 10th Sept. 'The SALLY, Cumming, of this port, in taking the harbor last night, went on shore, but is expected to be got off; part of the cargo saved.'

Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 8274, London, Monday September 14 1840.

Greenock, 24th Sept. 'The SALLY, Cumming, which was on shore at Ayr harbor, floated off 20th instant.'

Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 8287, London, Tuesday September 29 1840.

NMRS, MS/829/71 (no. 7569).

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.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 14 September 2005.
