Wooden ship from 1800s uncovered on Florida beach after erosion caused by recent hurricanes

DAYTONA BEACH SHORES, Fla. — Severe beach erosion from two late-season hurricanes has helped uncover what appears to be a wooden ship dating from the 1800s which had been buried under the sand on Florida’s East Coast for up to two centuries, impervious to cars that drove daily on the beach or sand castles built by generations of tourists.

Beachgoers and lifeguards discovered the wooden structure, between 80 feet to 100 feet, poking out of the sand over Thanksgiving weekend in front of homes that collapsed into rubble on Daytona Beach Shores last month from Hurricane Nicole.

“Whenever you find a shipwreck on the beach it’s really an amazing occurrence.

The Mystery of the AGW... I’ll chant it 8 times a day.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Nope. It would represent erosion related to hurricanes.

And yes, I also noticed the obligatory Global Warming (TM) bit in the article.

Because they’re not rising that fast. You have what is likely a combination of land subsidence and ice melt (which may be actually coming to an end) and water expansion from warming waters.*

*Here I’m not getting into Global Warming. Apparently, man contributes about 0.28% of heat trapping gases to the atmosphere, so I suspect most of the sea level rise is due to a natural warming cycle. In fact, as I understand it, NOAA thermometers that haven’t been compromised by the “heat island” affect have shown little atmospheric warming over the past couple of decades. We should consider ourselves lucky — we’re probably heading toward the end of an interglacial period, and then we WILL see climate havoc — of the cold variety.

Is Oak Island like Al Capone’s vault?

[Carriage Hill]

Well done compilation!

[RedMonqey]

Well, only difference there was a guy named all Capone.

[jmacusa]

Yup. Some Blue Coral or Turtle Wax and she’ll be good as new!

[jmacusa]

What gets me about that Oak Island thing is these guys have been expending a boatload of money on labor and equipment for what?

Pirates wouldn’t go burying what they’ve stolen in some mud pit hundreds of feet deep.

They’d blow all on booze and whores.

Years ago in Point Pleasant, NJ, the next town east of me after one hurricane came through what people had thought were naturally occurring sand dunes turned out to be old 1950's cars, stripped of their engines and transmissions and had sand piled on top of them to create sand dunes. The storm exposed these things and some folks who had houses fronting the beach had old Bel Air's and Chevys crashing into their houses!

[sit-rep]

rocks and pillars on the shore lines around the world and inland show water levels were up 100s of feet from where they are today. that amount of water is now gone. no one will ever convince me that its sitting at the poles in the form of ice and snow...

Thanks waterhill, I added the kw, but never did the ping. [blush]

i am so glad that we live in an age of science, not of religion!!

My son filmed a discovery of two 120 year old wooden ships unearthed off Dog Island by Hurricane Michael three years ago.
