Wangaree
Eagle's Nest, between Hall Bay & Sheringa
Wangaree was a cutter built in 1933 and lost on 29/06/1959. Crew were picking up cray pots at Halls Bay, when the propeller was fouled by cray line, stalling the engine. The vessel drifted towards the shore and struck a reef. The vessel quickly broke up.
The oddity, explained
Why is Wangaree unusual?
Wangaree appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Wangaree was a cutter built in 1933 and lost on 29/06/1959. Crew were picking up cray pots at Halls Bay, when the propeller was fouled by cray line, stalling the engine. The vessel drifted towards the shore and struck a reef. The vessel quickly 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.
