Full Description

NG54NE 8001 c. 587 499
N57 44.2 W6 25.4
NLO: Eilean Fladday [name centred NG 588 510]
Isle of Raasay [name centred NG 56 41]
Sound of Raasay [name centred NG 55 55].
Possibly on map sheet NG55SE.
(Classified as Yacht: date of loss cited as 28 September 1927). Eilean Aches: this vessel was wrecked on the South end of Fladdy [Eilean Fladday], near Raasay.
(Location of loss cited as N57 28.5 W6 1.5).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Eilean Fladday is situated in the Sound of Raasay, immediately W of Raasay itself.
An alternative location on Fladda-chuain [name: NG 361 815] may be suggested, but appears improbable.
This vessel presumably stranded. It remains unclear whether she was sail-, steam- or motor-driven.
