Loss (2 April 1711)

(No classification specified: cargo cited as coal and bottles, and date of loss as 2 April 1711). Elizabeth: [this vessel] stranded on the South side of Aberdeen Harbour. Capt. Cook.

Registration: Dundee.

(Location of loss cited as N57 8.40 W2 4.40).

I G Whittaker 1998.

Named Location (Nlo) (25 August 2011)

NLO: Aberdeen [name: NJ 95 05]

Torry [name: NJ 950 048].

Possibly on map sheet NJ90NW.

Not to be confused with NJ90NE 8380.

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.
