Named Location (Nlo) (25 August 2011)

Note (25 August 2011)
(Location entered as NJ c. 953 054 [N57 8.4 W2 4.8]). The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. This vessel most probably stranded within the Torry area, but may have stranded within the area of map sheet NJ90NW. Aberdeen Harbour (NJ90NE 7.00) is centred at NJ 95 05.
The remains of the vessel were presumably removed without delay from this constrained location.
