A shipwreck was uncovered on a Nantucket beach after being exposed by a nor'easter storm hitting the Massachusetts island.
The nor'easter struck Nantucket island and revealed the long-buried wreck on the beach, according to BBC Environment's coverage of the event.

Why it matters: Nor'easters regularly reshape Nantucket's coastline, and this storm revealed a shipwreck — a reminder that the island's shifting sands periodically expose pieces of its maritime history, giving researchers and residents a brief window to document the find before tides rebury it.
