- Wooden wreckage uncovered on Nantucket's southern coastline following a severe nor'easter is suspected to belong to a 19th-century schooner that ran aground in 1884.
- The Warren Sawyer, a three-masted vessel carrying scrap metal and cotton from New Orleans to Boston, sank near Miacomet Beach, though all crew members survived after being rescued from the shore.
- Jason Graziadei, editor-in-chief of the Nantucket Current, captured video of the wooden beams and iron fastenings, marking the first time pieces of the wreck have resurfaced since early 2023.
