The oddity, explained

Why is Che Sara unusual?

Che Sara appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Che Sara was a none built in 1970 and lost on 11/02/1985. On Monday 11 February 1985, Rick Culshaw and his deckhand were fishing for abalone near Kiana Cliff when Che Sara was driven by swells onto rocks and holed causing the vessel to founder. Both of the crew were saved, however the vessel subsequently broke. 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.
