The oddity, explained
Why is Fannie M unusual?
Fannie M appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Fannie M was a barque built in 1877 and lost on 15/06/1885. The vessel left Newcastle, NSW, on the 6 May 1885 with 1,023 tons of coal bound for Wallaroo, SA, and was drawing 17' 6" (5.33m) forward and 18' (5.49m) aft. The crew consisted of one mate, the carpenter (acting as boatswain), and nine hands. On 15 Ma. 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.
