There's really not much left, just the skeleton of the hull sitting on the beach sand but it is an unusual sight and it is drawing quite a crowd to the beach on a winter's day. New England Cable News did a story on it and posted their <a href="http://www.necn.com/Boston/New-England/19th-century-shipwreck-found-in-Wellfleet-Mass/1201815894.html">video on-line </a>.</div><br /><div>The treasures given up by the sea on Wellfleet's beaches is usually an old bottle, shell or unrecognizable piece of metal. For the die-hard beachcomber who scours the shore as part of his or her daily constitution in search for whatever the sea will surrender, finding the remains of a ship must have been quite a surprise.</div><div></div><div>If the timbers are still there this summer, I just hope some party-goer doesn't get inspired to use it as fuel for a beach fire. You never know.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7924945117347615673-8962291248945572120?l=surfsidevacation.blogspot.com'/></div>Surfwatcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09827975621315655967noreply@blogger.com0
