Wooden fragments that may be remnants of a 19th-century shipwreck surfaced on the south shore of Nantucket on September 27, 2026, after a nor'easter battered the East Coast and eroded the shoreline, NBC News reported.
Jason Graziadei, who leads the Nantucket Current as its editor-in-chief, came across the wooden pieces on the beach and posted a video of them. Nantucket is an island off the coast of Massachusetts.
BBC News Science said local media covered the possible discovery, with the fragments believed to date from the 1800s. The cause of the original wreck and the identity of the vessel remain unconfirmed.
