Lincoln Star was heading out to open sea west of Cape Catastrophe on Saturday morning 25 February 1961, however it reported by radio that it was sheltering from a southerly sea at Williams Island before continuing.

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.
