The oddity, explained
Why is Iris unusual?
Iris appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Iris was a cutter built in 1935 and lost on 1975. Iris fell into disrepair and sank at its mooring in c.1975 off Schlinks Landing, locally named Smokehouse, on the west side of Blanche Port, near Streaky Bay. The vessel sat in 2 m of water and gradually broke up. 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.
