Cygnet
Investigator Strait, 9 miles south of Cape Yorke, South Australia.
Cygnet was a schooner built in 1875 and lost on 06/08/1905. Presumed hit by squall and foundered (possibly capsized but appeared to be lying upright on the bottom when found).
The oddity, explained
Why is Cygnet unusual?
Cygnet appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Cygnet was a schooner built in 1875 and lost on 06/08/1905. Presumed hit by squall and foundered (possibly capsized but appeared to be lying upright on the bottom when found). 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.
