Wedge Island, north-west end/side. South-east of Port Lincoln, Spencer Gulf, South Australia. Close inshore and directly off the shed on the island.
Albatross was a cutter built in 1929 and lost on 20/10/1937. The cutter drifted onto the reef and broke up.
The oddity, explained
Why is Albatross unusual?
Albatross appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Albatross was a cutter built in 1929 and lost on 20/10/1937. The cutter drifted onto the reef and broke up. 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.
