In the wake of the devastating super storm
Sandy, a ship has appeared on New York’s beaches. The exposed wreckage is from
a different era. The ships skeleton was found about four miles east of Davis
Park along the Fire Island National Seashore. It is believed that the vessel is
the four masted Bessie White, which
was lost at sea during a heavy for in 1919 or 1920. However, the exact identity
of the ship has not been confirmed. The ship could also be a post Civil War
cargo ship built before 1880. In
the past, some parts of the ship peaked out but has never been so dramatically
exposed. “There’s
so little of it left we may not be able to determine which ship it actually is,
but we may be able to learn more about its age,” Valentine told OurAmazingPlanet. “It’s just a rare treat to see something so
exposed.”
The author, Emma O'Connorgives some background
information, like how the entire crew and the captains cat were able to make it
out alive. The O’Connor uses various other sources such as OurAmazingPlanet as well. The purpose of
this article is to inform about certain happenings in the world. This article
might appeal to people interested in ships or looking for something interesting
to see.
