What the evidence supports
The IOMHER account separates documented court and Receiver General records from later treasure-story embellishment. Its position is explicitly approximate and represents the 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; positional accuracy is approximate and the point is not a surveyed seabed 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.
