The oddity, explained

Why is Polly unusual?

Polly appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Polly was a cutter built in and lost on 03/11/1894. Misjudging of distances and went ashore on rocks. Total loss. 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.
