The oddity, explained
Why is Aline unusual?
Aline appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Aline was a cutter built in 1933 and lost on 16/03/1959. Ran aground on a reef 200 yards offshore. Wrecked after dragging its moorings and anchor. Broke up after unsuccessful salvage attempt. 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.
