The oddity, explained

Why is Mosquito unusual?

Mosquito appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Mosquito was a built in 1857 and lost on 11/07/1871. Wrecked in a gale, being driven aground on the north shore of the Lake. 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.
