(Nantucket, MA) — The powerful nor’easter hitting the East Coast has uncovered what may be the remains of a 19th-century shipwreck on Nantucket’s shore. Jason Graziadei, editor -in-chief of the Nantucket Current, saw the wooden remnants on the island’s south shore Saturday and posted a video of them. He believes they likely came from the Warren Sawyer, a wooden schooner that wrecked near Miacomet Beach 142 years ago. Fragments believed to be from the same ship first appeared along the island’s shore in December 2022. The deputy director of a natural history museum on Nantucket said more investigation is needed to confirm whether the newly exposed remnants are actually from the 19th-century shipwreck
