Vanquish
Cape Jervis, 2.5 miles west of Talisker Mine
Vanquish was a schooner built in 1846 and lost on 06/11/1864. Ran ashore around midnight during heavy weather. The land was not visible. Grounded 'imperceptibly', and drifted close in to shore. Large hole in hull (Adelaide Express, 10.12.1864).
The oddity, explained
Why is Vanquish unusual?
Vanquish appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Vanquish was a schooner built in 1846 and lost on 06/11/1864. Ran ashore around midnight during heavy weather. The land was not visible. Grounded 'imperceptibly', and drifted close in to shore. Large hole in hull (Adelaide Express, 10.12.1864). 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.
