Source: The Marine List, LL, No. 9872, London, Monday November 3 1845.
NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 8014).
Sandford is not noted as such near Cape Wrath on the 1996 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map. The entry presumably describes a stranding at Sandwood.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), possibly suggesting her successful recovery.
Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 17 November 2004.
