Shipwreck Washes Up on Nantucket Beach 139 Years After Being Lost in a Storm

The remains of a shipwreck discovered on a beach in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on February 9, have been identified as a schooner that was wrecked in the area in 1884, according to local media.Footage taken by Jesse Ahern shows a large section of the shipwreck on Miacomet Beach.According to the Nantucket Current, the wreckage was later identified as the stern of the Warren Sawyer, a three-masted schooner lost on the night of December 22, 1884, after being blown off course by gale-force winds.Ahern told Storyful that when she first spotted the wreck, she immediately thought it may belong to the 19th century ship, smaller parts of which were discovered just weeks earlier.“That schooner wrecked on the beach in Miacomet December 1884, and was recently discovered this past December,” Ahern said. “So we walked up to what we thought was that and I noticed it didn’t look like the images I saw from the first wreck.”Ahern’s intuition proved correct and the remains were quickly identified as another, larger, piece of the Warren Sawyer.
