The remnants of an old shipwreck have just emerged from the sands of a Cape Cod beach.

The Cape Cod Times reports that the large wreck has been exposed about two miles south of Nauset Beach in Orleans. The wooden remains are sandwiched between the beach’s tall dunes and the waterline and were uncovered by the natural shifting of the sands.

While the identity of the old ship has not been immediately made clear, historians believe it may be the wreck of the Montclair. The three-masted schooner sailed out of Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1927 bound for the American Atlantic coast. The ship ran aground in a storm off of Nauset in March and was never recovered.
