Aagot appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Aagot was a barque built in 1882 and lost on 12/10/1907. On 11 October 1907, the Aagot, with 17 crew and a stevedore, proceeded to Port Victoria from Port Adelaide, to load a cargo of wheat. During the early hours of the next morning, the barque grounded on rocks on the western side of Wardang Island. The mast. 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.
