The oddity, explained
Why is Pam unusual?
Pam appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Pam was a none built in 1864 and lost on 20/03/1934. In 1934 the hulk was given to the Australian Navy to be used by HMAS Canberra and HMAS Australia as a target for gunnery practice. It was towed by the tug Wato to a position seven miles SW of Cape Hart, off the coast of Kangaroo Island, arriving early on. 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.
