The oddity, explained

Why is Liteva unusual?

Liteva appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Liteva was a built in 24/01/1966 and lost on 28/03/1979. On its way to help 'Westward' it caught fire. It burnt and was abandoned by the crew before it foundered. 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.
