Etty
St Vincent Gulf, near Long Spit, north of Port Gawler
Etty was a ketch built in 1880 and lost on 12/03/1924. Vessel sat on its anchor on a falling tide. One fluke penetrated the hull and it filled and foundered.
The oddity, explained
Why is Etty unusual?
Etty appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Etty was a ketch built in 1880 and lost on 12/03/1924. Vessel sat on its anchor on a falling tide. One fluke penetrated the hull and it filled and foundered. 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.
