A strong nor’easter has unveiled what seems to be remnants of the Warren Sawyer, a wooden schooner that ran aground on the southern shores of Nantucket in 1884. The storm eroded sand from a bluff located near Point of Breakers, exposing substantial wooden beams thought to correspond with debris discovered in the same vicinity in 2022. Winds reached up to 49 mph on Nantucket, with a peak gust of 64 mph recorded at Nantucket Memorial Airport, while over 48 hours, at least 2.4 inches of rain accumulated. Additional archaeological research is required to verify the identity of the wreck.
