Ahern told Storyful that when she first spotted the wreck, she immediately thought it may belong to the 19th century ship, smaller parts of which were discovered https://www.nantucketcurrent.com/copy-of-remains-of-shipwreck-discovered-along-nantucket-s-south-shore just weeks earlier . "That schooner wrecked on the beach in Miacomet December 1884, and was recently discovered this past December," Ahern said. "So we walked up to what we thought was that and I noticed it didn't look like the images I saw from the first wreck." Ahern's intuition proved correct and the remains were quickly identified as another, larger, piece of the Warren Sawyer. (Footage by Jesse Ahern/Storyful via Getty Images UGC)
