Authorities in Cape Ray, Newfoundland, Canada, are investigating after a large wreckage washed up on the beach. The ship was most likely built in the nineteenth century and is thought to have been displaced by Hurricane Fiona.
Under Neil Burgess’s direction, the Shipwreck Preservation Society of Newfoundland and Labrador has been fascinated by the debris and is advising tourists not to bring any trinkets home.
A large shipwreck
The wrecked vessel may hold artifacts that can be studied if it is intact and in good shape, which is why provincial archaeologist Jamie Brake has asked people not to take souvenirs from it.
A drone photo of the wreckage was posted to YouTube by “Corey Purchase NiCor Photos,” and it quickly sparked heated comments from online users. There is a growing need for the wreckage to be evaluated and conserved.
Some people even speculate that it might be a European-built ship that has been mended and restored using American white oak. The scientific community has taken notice of the drone work, and the shipwreck still lacks a lot of components.
