Bullfrog
Wellington, River Murray, about 400 yards from the Wellington Ferry and 60 yeards from the east bank
Bullfrog was a cutter built in and lost on 23/09/1879. Byron and Bradey set off in the cutter in mild winds and got about 400 yards when a squall struck and capsized the vessel. Both men were making towards shore but it appears that Bradey panicked and drowned.
The oddity, explained
Why is Bullfrog unusual?
Bullfrog appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Bullfrog was a cutter built in and lost on 23/09/1879. Byron and Bradey set off in the cutter in mild winds and got about 400 yards when a squall struck and capsized the vessel. Both men were making towards shore but it appears that Bradey panicked and drowned. 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.
