Northland seems to be emulating Pioneer in odd place references. Her first is the Brotchie Ledge Light. You have a reference to the Ledge, a submerged reef, but not the light. However, 2 separate beacons have been installed, a short distance apart as this history of the installation recounts.

Northland sailed in 1951 but I only quote to 2 decimal places in the transcription so the change of site won't matter but I leave it to you what you put on Geonames.

Both were already existing on geonames (latter as Rosenfeld Rock Lighted Buoy U59), added them to the database.. will soon edit reference threads.

Thanks!
