SS City of Rio de Janeiro

American passenger ship built in 1878; sank in 1901

The oddity, explained
Why is SS City of Rio de Janeiro unusual?
SS City of Rio de Janeiro appears here because the approved source classifies it as infrastructure. The source describes it as American passenger ship built in 1878; sank in 1901. Heritage Atlas treats that specific classification-and-description combination as the oddity; the score is a comparative discovery signal, not proof of mystery or the supernatural. Compare nearby records and the linked country or category collection to understand how this entry relates to places supported by the same governed evidence.
Evidence and further exploration
The coordinate, category and description remain tied to the cited source. Comparative oddness helps discovery; it does not add facts that the source does not provide.

A missing field means the approved source did not support it; it is not evidence that the feature or restriction does not exist.
