The oddity, explained
Why is Thistle unusual?
Thistle appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Thistle was a schooner built in 1843 and lost on 03/03/1866. Thistle delivered winding, pumping, and other gear for the large engine at the Talisker Mine at Fishery Bay, Cape Jervis, when it broke from its moorings during a gale and was wrecked. 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.
