The oddity, explained
Why is Sarnia unusual?
Sarnia appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Sarnia was a built in 1877 and lost on 26/11/1926. Abandoned in the North Arm after seams opened 26 November 1926. The Harbours Board initially salvaged as much material as possible, before depositing the vessel at the Garden Island Ships’ Graveyard on 7 April 1927. During the next few months isolated. 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.
