The oddity, explained

Why is Mylor Star unusual?

Mylor Star appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Mylor Star was a none built in 1978 and lost on 09/06/1982. On 9 June 1982, while shark fishing off the south-western tip of Althorpe Island, the vessel was caught in a storm. The skipper, John Stewart, and crew, Darren Godfrey, lifted the anchor to move to the sheltered side of the island, however, the reverse g. 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.
