马萨诸塞州楠塔基特(WPRI)——据《楠塔基特当前报》报道,周末袭击美国东北部的一场强烈的东北风暴很可能使一艘19世纪的沉船重见天日。
NANTUCKET, Mass. (WPRI) — A powerful nor'easter that battered the Northeast over the weekend likely uncovered a shipwreck from the 19th century.
这块残骸似乎属于“沃伦·索耶”号(Warren Sawyer)双桅帆船,该船最初于1884年12月22日在马萨诸塞州米亚科梅特海滩附近搁浅。周六,一名楠塔基特居民在该岛南岸发现了它。
The fragment appears to be from the schooner Warren Sawyer, which originally ran aground near Miacomet Beach, Mass., on Dec. 22, 1884, according to the Nantucket Current. It was spotted by a Nantucket resident Saturday along the island's south shore.
“沃伦·索耶”号当时正载着棉花和废铁从新奥尔良驶往波士顿,途中遭遇烈风偏离了航线。据《问询者与镜报》报道,船长和船员在几小时内获救。
The Warren Sawyer was carrying cotton and scrap iron from New Orleans to Boston when gale-force winds blew it off course. According to The Inquirer and Mirror, the captain and crew were rescued within hours.
它在海滩上停留了大约两周,直到1885年1月在另一场风暴中解体,残骸四处散落。
It remained on the beach for about two weeks before breaking apart during another storm in January 1885, scattering the wreckage.
《楠塔基特当前报》称,周末发现的残骸与2022年和2023年发现“沃伦·索耶”号部分残骸的区域相同。
The Nantucket Current said the wreckage found over the weekend was in the same area where sections of the Warren Sawyer were uncovered in 2022 and 2023.
楠塔基特埃根海事研究所的社区关系与游客体验总监海利·纳尔逊对Nexstar旗下的WPRI表示,他们将对这块残骸进行勘测,以确认它属于哪艘船。
Haley Nelson, the Director of Community Relations & Visitor Experience at the Eagan Maritime Institute in Nantucket, told Nexstar's WPRI that they would survey the piece to confirm what ship it belongs to.
“我们将与州政府合作,随着研究的继续来确定该沉船的身份,但在那之前,我们无法确切地确认这艘船的身份,”纳尔逊说。
"We will work with the state as research continues to identify the wreck, but until then, we cannot confirm the ship’s identity with certainty," Nelson said.
“楠塔基特海岸沉船的再次出现以及公众对这些船只的着迷,说明了我们海洋遗产的重要性,”她补充道。
"The re-emergence of shipwrecks along the coast of Nantucket and the public’s fascination with these vessels speak to the importance of our maritime heritage," she added.
“楠塔基特是‘大西洋的墓地’之一,据估计周围水域有750多处沉船。”
"Nantucket is one of the 'graveyards of the Atlantic,' with more than 750 wrecks estimated in the surrounding waters."
纳尔逊提醒公众,根据马萨诸塞州法律,移除、移动、损坏或破坏水下考古资源是非法的。
Nelson reminds the public that under Massachusetts law, it's illegal to remove, displace, damage, or destroy underwater archaeological resources.
