According to Seacoast Online, the wreck is washed clear every several years when a major coastal storm brings enough beach erosion.

York police posted pictures of the wreck to Facebook Monday showing a little glimpse of history.

A story from another recent uncovering of the shipwreck indicates it has been mapped and logged by the Maine Historical Preservation Commission as archeological site ME 497-004, Seacoast Online reported.
