The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. Priest Island is situated to the SW of the Summer Isles group, which is itself situated within the N side of the broad entrance to Loch Broom.
The location and date cited by Whittaker are those of report. It remains uncertain whether, where and when the vessel subsequently stranded or foundered.
