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.

'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. '
