Overview
John: Isauld, Pentland Firth is the exact Historic Environment Scotland record for the named brigantine John in Highland. The saved class and date wording are Brigantine (18th Century). This safely identifies the vessel-loss record, but does not by itself prove the loss date, voyage, people, cargo, cause or final condition.
The vessel and voyage
The official record names the vessel as John and classifies it as Brigantine (18th Century). The saved information does not securely name its owners, departure point, destination or cargo.
How it was lost
The record ties John to this saved point in Highland. Its broad class or period must not be turned into an exact loss date, and the saved row does not safely explain the weather, accident, attack or other cause.
Deaths and survival
No safe crew list, death total, survivor total or rescue account is contained in this saved record for John. Those facts need another reliable source before they can be added.
What remains
The official record preserves a distinct place for John, but this saved information does not say how much of the vessel survives, whether remains were recovered, or what can now be seen.
Why it mattered
John matters here because a named brigantine is tied to a particular Scottish coastal or sea location. Together with other losses, it shows the kinds of vessels using the waters around Highland; the exact named record also gives later research a firm starting point without inventing a fuller story.
