The oddity, explained

Why is Lady Fergusson unusual?

Lady Fergusson appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Lady Fergusson was a cutter built in 1868 and lost on 16/04/1870. Sank due to starting of a butt or overloading. 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.
