Altair
Althorpe Island, Investigator Strait, South Australia
Altair was a cutter built in 1943 and lost on 7/1971. Little is known of the circumstances of the loss of Altair, other than it ran aground at Althorpe island in 1971.
The oddity, explained
Why is Altair unusual?
Altair appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Altair was a cutter built in 1943 and lost on 7/1971. Little is known of the circumstances of the loss of Altair, other than it ran aground at Althorpe island in 1971. 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.
