Storm erosion reveals remains of 1884 schooner wreck off Nantucket
Original: Storm erosion reveals remains of schooner wrecked off Nantucket in 1884
Severe storm-driven erosion on Nantucket has exposed the remains of a schooner that sank off the island in 1884, according to the Cape Cod Times. The shifting sands and waves stripped away beach covering the wreck's remnants, offering a rare glimpse of the vessel's wooden bones. The ship was wrecked in the late 19th century, though further details about its crew and cargo have not yet been reported.
Why now: Recent coastal storms eroded beach sand, exposing a previously buried 19th-century shipwreck.
