Sloop (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Inverary Castle in Irvine Bay, Firth of Clyde, is a 19th century sloop. It is a small sea creature, not a grand castle, and the name is a joke the ocean told a human. The water keeps what it wants. The chart marks the point within a kilometre, close enough for a boat and vague enough for a ghost.
