Today’s nor’easter uncovered a shipwreck believed to be the Warren Sawyer, a 19th century coastal schooner that wrecked off Nantucket’s south shore on December 22, 1884 
The ship was hauling 1,115 bales of cotton and 28 tons of scrap iron on a run from New Orleans to Boston when it got blown off course by gale force winds and went down near Miacomet Beach 
The whole crew was rescued that night using a hawser and breeches buoy rigged straight off the beach, and more than 140 years later pieces of the wreck keep washing up in the same spot 
Photographer Hafsa Lewis got out to the site today and captured these shots before before the sand or surf claims it again
