At 6.45am on the morning of 24 January 1990, the vessel was driven ashore at Merdayerrah Sandpatch, about 19 km east of Eucla, WA, after strong winds and rough seas ca. 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.
