What the evidence supports
IOMHER records Saint George (Peel, 1889) as having grounded on 7 October 1889. IOMHER classifies the reported casualty position as “Approximate”. The map represents that reported position as an uncertainty area, not a surveyed wreck footprint. It is not evidence that visible remains survive at the centre point.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 500 m. 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.
