The oddity, explained

Why is Gwydir unusual?

Gwydir appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Gwydir was a built in 1877 and lost on 17/06/1901. Sank in 14 fathoms while being towed by tug. 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.
