A Nor'easter battered coastal New England last week, dragging so much sand out to sea that it revealed a Revolutionary War-era ship buried on one Maine beach.

The ship, which was previously uncovered last month during Winter Storm Nemo, was uncovered again after a new storm hit Short Sands Beach in York on Friday and Saturday.

Locals say the ship has been uncovered several times over the years in serious storms.

And they never thought to save what remained? I'm calling bullshit. Until the remaining timbers are tested it's just a rotten hull.

I hope it was a British ship.
