NB: "Portlyn" is not currently identifiable and has not been matched up with a modern-day Cornish place name. However, the most numerous place names are "St. Carantoc" [modern Crantock] and "St. Peran", assumed to be Perran Sands, on the northern coast of Cornwall, and it would be logical to assume that the most numerous plunderers came from the immediate locality of the wreck site. Additionally, on a southbound voyage from Cork, the vessel is somewhat more likely to have been driven ashore on the north coast of Cornwall, although this would, of course, have depended upon the wind direction and tidal conditions.
