Sunbeam
North Arm, Garden Island, Port Adelaide, South Australia
Sunbeam was a barque built in 1857 and lost on 10/10/1910. Sunbeam was abandoned in the Ships’ Graveyard circa 10 October 1910 – one of the first vessels to be placed there. A surprising fact is that Sunbeam was built within a year of Santiago and within walking distance of its port of build. By coincidence
The oddity, explained
Why is Sunbeam unusual?
Sunbeam appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Sunbeam was a barque built in 1857 and lost on 10/10/1910. Sunbeam was abandoned in the Ships’ Graveyard circa 10 October 1910 – one of the first vessels to be placed there. A surprising fact is that Sunbeam was built within a year of Santiago and within walking distance of its port of build. By coincidence. 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.
