Hammerton (Amalgamated Press, London 1915) According to http://www.firstworldwar.com/photos/sources.htm , “Each photo is believed to be copyright-expired except where indicated.” The site has been up for seven years and sources for the photos cited so it is reasonable this claim of copyright expired status has stood the test of time. Note: other than the source of the image and the assertion of copyright free status, detail information such as credits for each photographer and image provider was not indicated for each image. · Public domain · Wikimedia Commons

The oddity, explained

Why is Gulflight unusual?

Gulflight appears here because the approved source classifies it as infrastructure. The source describes it as American tanker ship torpedoed in World War I. 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.

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.
