An Ancient Shipwreck Was Just Uncovered In Maine And The Photos Are Amazing

We all thought the winter weather might be over, but as last week proved, it seems we're still in the thick of it. In the midst of dealing with even more snow this week, the memories of last week's wind and high seas are still fresh in our minds. Many people lost trees, faced flooded homes and worse, which just proves that mother nature is always in control. But, there is one bright spot coming out of this winter that just keeps coming! It seems last week's heavy winds revealed a cool piece of Maine history!

Short Sands Beach in York is best known as a summer getaway for folks from all over Maine and beyond, but last week it became a little part of history!

Last week's nor'easter brought heavy winds, causing high seas along the Maine coast.

In York, it did more than just damage property.

Here it actually revealed a long forgotten piece of history!

The high seas removed enough sand to reveal the hull of this boat, believed to be built in 18th century.

According to Leith Smith, a historical archaeologist for the Maine Preservation Commission who spoke to ABC News, the ship was likely wrecked around 1769.

Every so often, high seas remove just enough sand to reveal the deserted hull, but the last time this happened was in 2013.

Throughout the day, visitors came to take a look and soon it will be covered again only to be revealed during the next perfect storm!
