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. Compare nearby records and the linked country or category collection to understand how this entry relates to places supported by the same governed evidence.

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.

Data last collected: 3 September 2026 for this retained atlas release. Page and source last rechecked: 3 September 2026. Treat the record as a research starting point: open the original source, confirm current access conditions and compare the mapped location with local guidance before travelling. A missing field means the approved source did not support it; it is not evidence that the feature or restriction does not exist.
