(Classified as schooner: no cargo specified, but date of loss cited as 25 November 1859). Unknown: this vessel was lying high and dry on Stroma (Golden Eagle).

It remains unclear whether this vessel was lost, or successfully recovered.
The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, and the date cited is apparently that of report rather than loss.
