Nor’easter winds reveal a surprising beach discovery: The remains of a Revolutionary War-era ship - The Washington Post

'In addition to uncovering the Maine sloop, modern storms have been a boon to historians, scientists and archaeologists who traverse the depths to solve confounding mysteries. '

'The last known slave ship, the Clotilda, was burned and partially buried off the Alabama coast in 1860. '

'And this isn’t even the first time this has happened with this particular ship, the department wrote on Facebook. '

'Every now and then, a storm ravages the coast of southern Maine so totally that it provides a glimpse of Colonial history. '

'The ship rests about 20 yards from a parking lot located near the shoreline, York Police Department Detective Matthew J. Calcina told The Washington Post on Monday. '

It's not too surprising. We know it's there and various storms will make it visible again. It has been in the news before, and I've only lived here since I retired and don't live anywhere near the coast.

Still, it's pretty neat - just not really surprising. They know it's there and certain combinations of wind, surf, and tides will cover and uncover it.
