Happy Valentines Day to you and your loved one. As a special gift to you, we are straying from real estate this week and bringing you some spectacular photos. On January 27, this year, we experienced quite a storm that churned the ocean viciously, ultimately causing the skeleton of a sunken vessel to wash ashore on Newcomb Hollow Beach in Wellfleet.
The 60 foot remains of the ship, believed to be a 19th century schooner, lay upright on the beach as if on display in a museum. Due to the number of shipwrecks off the coast of Cape Cod and without a name, spectators speculated as to the ship’s identity. Theories were abundant in the crowd that gathered around the decomposing hull that the ship was a fishing vessel from Gloucester or a coal carrying barge. No one really knows for sure.
The National Parks Service has no plans to remove the ship and the remains are expected to be washed out to sea. If you have a chance to visit the Cape, check out the ship as it is truly a remarkable piece of history.
Please enjoy these pics that Atlantic Bay Sotheby’s International Realty Broker Associate Lincoln Sharpless snapped while visiting the wreck.
