Enterprise
North Arm, Garden Island, Port Adelaide, South Australia. The vessel lies approx 25-30 m from the terminus of the Main Path, which in turn, lies 150 m SE of the road
Enterprise was a schooner built in 1868 and lost on 8/1913. Upon its deregistration in 1913, the Enterprise became a water-tender for a short time, carting fresh water supplies to vessels at anchor, before it was eventually abandoned at the Ships’ Graveyard around August 1913.
The oddity, explained
Why is Enterprise unusual?
Enterprise appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Enterprise was a schooner built in 1868 and lost on 8/1913. Upon its deregistration in 1913, the Enterprise became a water-tender for a short time, carting fresh water supplies to vessels at anchor, before it was eventually abandoned at the Ships’ Graveyard around August 1913. 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.
