Witness
1 mile SE of Cape Northumberland, apparently 6 miles from the J. Lovett wreck, South East Coast of South Australia.
Witness was a brigantine built in 1850 and lost on 01/05/1853. 10-10:30 pm driven off course by rough weather & went ashore
The oddity, explained
Why is Witness unusual?
Witness appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Witness was a brigantine built in 1850 and lost on 01/05/1853. 10-10:30 pm driven off course by rough weather & went ashore. 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.
