The oddity, explained
Why is Dolphin unusual?
Dolphin appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Dolphin was a cutter built in and lost on 8/1872. Foundered during gale. 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.
