The oddity, explained

Why is Flinders Endeavour unusual?

Flinders Endeavour appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Flinders Endeavour was a none built in 1940 and lost on 1968. Flinders Endeavour left Streaky Bay one morning in 1968 (Jan to April or Nov to Dec)heading for Flinders Island, and was about halfway between Cape Radstock and the island when the wind came up from the southeast causing the seas to become rough. At 4.25. 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. Compare nearby records and the linked country or category collection to understand how this entry relates to places supported by the same governed evidence.

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.
