TL;DR Summary

A 19th-century shipwreck has washed up on the shores of Newfoundland, Canada, attracting attention from archaeologists and locals. A team rushed to recover parts of the 30-meter long ship before tides take it back to the ocean, extracting wooden planks and metal sheathing for analysis. The wreck, discovered in an area known for numerous shallow rocks, may have been dislodged by Hurricane Fiona in 2022. The archaeologists hope to identify the ship's age and origin from the recovered materials, but it may take months for results.
