The oddity, explained

Why is Alpha unusual?

Alpha appears here because the approved source classifies it as maritime. The source describes it as Alpha was a schooner built in 1844 and lost on 25/07/1847. Dragged anchors in northerly storm. 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.
