Elizabeth
Whiting Point, 3 miles below Torrens Island.
Elizabeth was a cutter built in and lost on 9/1871. Swamped and foundered, presumably during a storm. Found drifting offshore, submerged with only its mast above water.
The oddity, explained
Why is Elizabeth unusual?
Elizabeth appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Elizabeth was a cutter built in and lost on 9/1871. Swamped and foundered, presumably during a storm. Found drifting offshore, submerged with only its mast above water. 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.
