The oddity, explained
Why is Flying Fish unusual?
Flying Fish appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Flying Fish was a schooner built in 18/01/1843 and lost on 03/12/1860. Broke from moorings during heavy gales and driven ashore. 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.
