The oddity, explained

Why is Lady Gilmore unusual?

Lady Gilmore appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Lady Gilmore was a none built in 1972 and lost on 25/05/1992. Vessel was stranded and wrecked on reef. The vessel was then deliberately scuttled as a diving and fishing site. During a SW storm, the vessel lifted, came ashore and 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.

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.
