The oddity, explained
Why is Experiment unusual?
Experiment appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Experiment was a schooner built in 30/09/1874 and lost on 09/05/1881. Vessel overloaded, struck by a squall, capsized and sank. 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.
