Powerful nor'easter may have uncovered shipwreck from 1884

A powerful nor'easter battered the East Coast with heavy rain, winds, and flooding. The storm's waves uncovered what appears to be a fragment from the Warren Sawyer, a schooner that wrecked on Nantucket's shore in 1884. The remains were buried in sand until the storm exposed them. Experts are investigating whether the discovered fragment is indeed from this 19th-century shipwreck.
