Why is Atholl unusual?
Atholl appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Atholl was a brigantine built in 1853 and lost on 20/03/1864. On 19 March 1864, Atholl was moored between Pullen Island and Commodore Point, just outside Horseshoe Bay. It was waiting its turn to enter the harbour to take on 500 bags of wheat for Melbourne. It had already loaded a cargo of wheat, flour, pollard and. 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.
