The oddity, explained

Why is St. Marc unusual?

St. Marc appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as St. Marc was a barque built in 1864 and lost on 28/09/1876. Broke cable, driven ashore in heavy seas and broke up. 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.
