North Easter uncovers 19th-century ship debris in Nantucket
The Storm of Light Eastern that struck the Massachusetts area revealed wreckage from a 19th-century ship on Nantucket Island's shore. It is believed to be from the sailing ship Warren Sawyer, which wrecked in 1884 while attempting to reach New Orleans. The waves uncovered parts of the debris after some of it appeared in the area in 2022, though the full identity of the wreck has not been confirmed due to discrepancies in the documentation tools used. The storm caused shoreline erosion, power outages affecting hundreds of thousands, the death of a worker in New York, and the disappearance of a swimmer in Long Island waters.
