Hurricane Ian uncovers wreckage of early 19th-century ship along the New York shoreline

During Tropical Storm Ian in the fall of 2022, the remnants of a possible early 19th-century ship were found along the New York shoreline. The old shipwreck was discovered on October 21, 2022, by a ranger from the Fire Island National Seashore Law Enforcement, measuring 13 feet by 13 feet.

The wreckage was previously seen by National Park Service (NPS) staff, as it was partially exposed in the dunes. According to NPS, the wreckage was from a relatively small ship built around 1820, and its trenails suggest that it was roughly 100 feet in length. Although the identification of the wreck is yet to be confirmed, the steamboat Savannah has risen to the top as a contender.

The Savannah was built in 1818 and was the first ship to use steam power in intercontinental travel. The Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society says that the wreckage represents the hundreds of ships that have wrecked along the coast of Fire Island, and it is an essential piece of history.
