马萨诸塞州楠塔基特岛近日一场东北风暴冲破海滩，暴露了1884年沉没的帆船沃伦·索耶号的大型残骸1。这艘三桅木制帆船当时满载棉花和废铁，从新奥尔良驶往波士顿途中在楠塔基特搁浅1。根据马萨诸塞州水下考古资源委员会的记录，沃伦·索耶号在1884年12月22日搁浅，船上装载1,115包棉花和28吨废铁1。船长和7名船员获救，但船只在海岸停留数周后开始散裂1。
1885年1月6日的另一场风暴将船彻底撕裂，碎片散落超过半英里的海滩1。2022年末州考古学家曾检查过约42英尺的船体断面，2023年2月又出现了约15英尺的船尾下部断面，随后被沙埋没1。埃根海事研究所已宣布将派遣工作人员前往检查遗址并为州考古学家准备报告1。楠塔基特在19世纪共经历超过750起沉船事件1。
A powerful nor'easter swept across Nantucket, Massachusetts over the weekend, exposing significant wreckage from the Warren Sawyer, a three-masted wooden sailing vessel that ran aground in 1884 1. The ship struck Nantucket on December 22, 1884, while carrying 1,115 bales of cotton and 28 tons of scrap iron en route from New Orleans to Boston 1. Though the captain and seven crew members were rescued, the vessel began breaking apart weeks after striking the coast, and a subsequent storm on January 6, 1885, tore the ship apart, scattering debris across more than half a mile of beach 1.
The Egan Maritime Institute has announced plans to dispatch personnel to inspect the site and prepare a report for the state archaeologist 1. State underwater archaeological records indicate that researchers examined an approximately 42-foot section of the hull in late 2022, and a roughly 15-foot stern section emerged in February 2023 before being buried by sand again 1. This latest discovery marks another chapter in Nantucket's maritime history, as the island experienced over 750 shipwrecks during the 19th century 1.
