Another piece of what probably was a large wooden sailing ship has been uncovered in the wash at Wasque.

Last week, The Trustees of Reservations staff and onlookers discovered a large piece of wood. Now there is a second, washing up nearer to the Wasque parking lot than the first.

Many speculate that both are remains of the 300-foot, six-masted schooner Mertie B. Crowley that sank there 100 years ago.
