  2. "Shipwreck Index of the British Isles" Vol. 5 by Richard & Bridget Larn, pub. Lloyds Register, 2000, ISBN 1 900839 61 X - citing Lloyds List, gives the location of the wreck as Whitehaven, North Bank. Undoubtedly this is the same vessel as the master (Rae) and the port (Kirkcudbright) correspond.
