Campbeltown, 12th Mar. The MOSES SHEPHERD (schr.) is ashore at North Kilberry, and will become a total wreck.
Source: LL, No. 16,200, London, Wednesday, March 14 1866.
NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 11018).
The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. North Kilberry is not noted as such on the 1998 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map. The name apparently applies to an ill-defined area on the W coast of Knapdale. Kilberry Castle (NR76SW 16) is at NR 70799 64131.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998).
