Lady Daly was a schooner built in 1876 and lost on 06/09/1929. The schooner was dismantled and abandoned in the North Arm c.1926 and its register was closed on 6 September 1929. Today, little remains of Lady Daly although sections of framing and parts of the centreboard casing are evident above the silt at low tide.
The oddity, explained
Why is Lady Daly unusual?
Lady Daly appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Lady Daly was a schooner built in 1876 and lost on 06/09/1929. The schooner was dismantled and abandoned in the North Arm c.1926 and its register was closed on 6 September 1929. Today, little remains of Lady Daly although sections of framing and parts of the centreboard casing are evident above the silt at low tide. 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.
