NANTUCKET, MASS. (WHDH) - A Nantucket resident recently found a piece of history on the shore of her island when she recently came upon a piece of the wrecked “Warren Sawyer” ship.
Jesse Ahern made the discovery while walking her dog on Miacomet Beach last week. She snapped a photo of the wreck, showing a series of weathered beams resting on the sand.
The Warren Sawyer washed ashore during a storm 140 years ago.
A different part of the boat was found back in December.
“I suppose anybody could have stumbled upon it, so I feel a little silly being the person to discover it,” Ahern told 7NEWS. “But it is a big deal and I was happy to be the person.”
