Joaquin Sanchez- Nor'easter uncovers wreck of Revolutionary War-era ship on Maine beach

A believed to be 160 year old ship wreck has been discovered Monday morning on a beach . It has been predicted to be from the revolutionary war period and was discovered by York Police department, who also posted pictures of the discovery. The account posted that "Every once and a  while after a storm the ocean moves enough sand for it to be seen."

The shipwreck has previously been visible after after major storms in the area, its first appearance was in 2007 after a major storm. The pictures and articles really give a glimpse into how ships were made in the revolutionary-era and where it was found was a vital part of that. This obviously is tied with the revolutionary war, which was a battle of the colonist( Americans) and later down the road the French against the British for the colonist ( Americans) to gain independence. This was a very important historical thing because it was the birth of America.
