The oddity, explained
Why is Moe unusual?
Moe appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Moe was a barque built in 1876 and lost on 25/09/1931. In August 1928 the Habours Board was notified of the owners’ intention to scrap the hulk and permission was sought to scuttle it on the mudflats at the North Arm. Although approval was given, it was moved with permission and grounded, lying across the. 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.
