What the evidence supports
The IOMHER account separates documented court and Receiver General records from later treasure-story embellishment. IOMHER classifies the reported casualty position as “Approximate”; it represents a casualty locality, not a located wreck footprint or a licence to search the shore. A linked official archive paper provides the fuller documentary study.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 1.5 km. IOMHER-reported casualty position; IOMHER positional-accuracy classification: “Approximate”. This point is not a surveyed seabed footprint.
Geometry provenance: Official casualty point with editorial uncertainty area. An official reported casualty point is shown only within an editorial uncertainty area, not as a surveyed wreck footprint.
Why this public geometry is safe: IOMHER publishes a casualty position; this map shows it only as an uncertainty area and never as a surveyed wreck footprint, navigation point or salvage target.
