The oddity, explained

Why is Shannon unusual?

Shannon appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Shannon was a cutter built in 1962 and lost on 10/05/1989. The Port Lincoln cray fishing vessel Shannon was operating along the coast west of Sleaford Bay, southwest of Port Lincoln on 10 May 1989 crewed by the owner/master, John Bozanic, and his deckhand, Scott Turner, both of Port Lincoln. During the morning,. 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.

Data last collected: 3 September 2026 for this retained atlas release. Page and source last rechecked: 3 September 2026. Treat the record as a research starting point: open the original source, confirm current access conditions and compare the mapped location with local guidance before travelling. A missing field means the approved source did not support it; it is not evidence that the feature or restriction does not exist.
