Loss (29 June 1925)

(Classified as M[otor] V[essel]: no cargo specified, but date of loss cited as 29 June 1925). Lily of the Valley: [this vessel was] on fire and [was] beached at Aberdeen.

I G Whittaker 1998.

Note (29 July 2011)

(Location entered as NJ c. 95 07 [N57 9 W2 5]). The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. This 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).

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 29 July 2011.

Named Location (Nlo) (29 July 2011)

NLO: Aberdeen [name: NJ 95 05]

Aberdeen Bay [name centred NJ 956 075].

Possibly on map sheet NJ91SE and/or within Maritime - Aberdeenshire.
