The oddity, explained
Why is Agnes unusual?
Agnes appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Agnes was a schooner built in 9/1840 and lost on 13/03/1865. The schooner Anges left Yankalilla, south of Port Adelaide March 12th 1865 for Melbourne with a cargo of 1075 bags of wheat and flour. All went well until she passed Cape Willoughby when the weather became hazy with rain squalls and a heavy sea. 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.
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.
