A nor'easter storm has washed up what may be the remains of a 19th-century shipwreck on Nantucket island in Massachusetts, according to local media reports cited by the BBC.
The wreckage was uncovered as the storm system moved through the area, exposing what appears to be old ship timbers along the shoreline.
Local media have suggested the find could date back to the 1800s, though the exact age, origin and identity of the vessel have not yet been confirmed.
Shipwrecks are occasionally exposed along the New England coastline during severe storms, offering researchers and historians periodic glimpses into the region's maritime history.
