Archaeology Notes

NJ90NE 8278 c. 95 07

N57 9 W2 5

NLO: Aberdeen [name: NJ 95 05]

Aberdeen Bay [name centred NJ 956 075].

Aberdeen, 12th Nov. The FRIENDS, of Limekilns, blown out of the Firth of Forth, returned here, but passed the entrance and was driven on the beach yesterday: she is expected off: crew saved.

Source: LL, No. 16,407, London, Monday, November 12 1866.

Aberdeen, 13th Nov. The FRIENDS (brig), which got ashore yesterday on the beach, was bound from this port to Charlestown, McLaren, master: her gear, &c., are being removed.

Source: LL, No. 16,410, London, Thursday, November 15 1866.

Aberdeen, 23rd Nov. The FRIENDS, McLaren, hence to Charlestown, stranded North of the harbour here 11th Nov., came off yesterday, and was towed into dock without much damage. [Record received incomplete].

NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 11092).

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. The vessel evidently stranded within the extensive area of Aberdeen Beach.

Aberdeen Beach is not noted as such on the 1999 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map, but the name evidently applies to the southern part of the lengthy and gently-curving sand-dune coast that stretches Northwards from Aberdeen, from NJ 95 06 to NK 02 26.

Aberdeen Bay is not noted as such on the 1999 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map. The name presumably applies to the ill-defined and sand-fringed indentation that forms a shallow arc extending North from the mouth of the River Dee (at NJ 96 05).

Aberdeen Harbour (NJ90NE 7.00) is centred at NJ 95 05. The present entrance may be considered to lie at NJ c. 963 060, but this location reflects development towards the East through the construction of successive piers and breakwaters. The North Pier (NJ90NE 7.02) at the harbour entrance extends from NJ 9590 0570 to NJ 9639 0609.

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

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 22 January 2007.
