The oddity, explained

Why is Angelica S unusual?

Angelica S appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Angelica S was a built in 1979 and lost on 13/12/1996. Angelica S was fishing for tuna bait on its way to Streaky Bay when it ran aground in rough seas on Masillon Island at about 2.00am on 13 December 1996. It foundered soon after in 14 m of water off the north point of the cove on the west side of the isla. 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.
