Where is the rock called "The Thatcher"?
It is in Brittany, near Camaret-sur-Mer. It should be somewhere near the southern arm of the bay in which Brest lies. I am looking for an exact latitude and longitude, with a reference if possible.
"To get there he would have to work round the point. The only way of doing so was to run south, skirting the inner reef towards the rock they called the Thatcher, close in by the southern arm of the bay, and then to go about, make a short board towards the outer reef, and so round Gripes Point into safety, there to lie until the gale blew itself out and a falling tide enabled them to run clear -there was not the least possibility of weathering the outer reef, of running through the gap, at present, with the wind dead on shore. "
