I G Whittaker 1998.

Named Location (Nlo) (22 August 2011)

NLO: Aberdeen [name: NJ 95 05]

Aberdeen Bay [name centred NJ 956 075].

Possibly on map sheet NJ90SW.

Note (22 August 2011)

(Location entered as NJ c. 96 06 [N57 9 W2 4]). The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of stranding ('near the entrance to Aberdeen Harbour') that is cited by Whittaker. The vessel may have stranded at or near the S end of Aberdeen Beach.

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.

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).
