Why is Unknown unusual?

Unknown appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Unknown was a cutter built in and lost on 1932. In c.1932 the fishing cutter was operating in Decres Bay with two crew, Richard Fuss and his son Rex, when it was driven ashore during a storm. Both of the crew managed to escape without injury. The cutter was driven intact high up onto the beach east of. 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.
