A fact from Loch Vennachar appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 29 March 2008.

[edit] Wreck Location

Loch Vennachar was wrecked at West Bay, on the extreme western point of Kangaroo Island. Whilst wreckage was found along the entire south coast of the Island, the ship's anchor was retrieved from West Bay, confirming the location. Loch Vennachar historic reserve is in fact the sea bed - previous descriptions of the location implied the reserve was land based.Browning ave (talk) 04:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I have reinstated part of the paragraph that you deleted, as it has a reliable source/reference. Please see page 265 here. Spy007au (talk) 05:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

The ABC on-line reference confirms that large amounts of wreckage from Loch Vennachar were found at West Bay, and that the bower anchor was raised from this location.202.6.148.237 (talk) 07:22, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I have re-worded the paragraph to so that it is correct, but also keeps its historic value. Let me know if OK. Cheers, Spy007au (talk) 08:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

That's spot on. Well done.Browning ave (talk) 04:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
