NO75NW 8137 c. 725 569
N56 42.2 W2 27
NLO: Montrose [name: NO 720 572]
Scurdie Ness [name: NO 735 567].
Location formerly entered as NO c. 72 56 [N56 42 W2 27].
Leith, 14th April. The JANET KINNEAR, Kinnear, in working out of Montrose harbour 12th inst., went on shore, but it is expected she will be got off.
Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 10,633, London, Saturday April 15 1848.
NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 8352).
(Location of loss entered as NO c. 725 569 [N56 42.2 W2 27.0]). The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. Montrose Harbour or the Port of Montrose (NO75NW 44.00) occupies an ill-defined area around NO 7123 5121. It does not have clearly-defined entrance, but is approached (from the E) between between the extensive estuarine sandbanks of the River South Esk, which extend as far E as Scurdie Ness [name: NO 735 567]. The vessel evidently stranded within the area of these sandbanks.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably suggesting her successful recovery.
