A ship that is believed to have sank about 90 years ago has been uncovered by the gust force winds of Sandy. The wreckage, which many believe to be a four-masted Canadian coal schooner name the Bessie White, has been washed upon New York’s Fire Island. “The ship’s identity has not been confirmed,” Paula Valentine, public affairs specialist at Fire Island National Seashore, told ABCNews.com. “But the old timers have told me that the remains are around where the Bessie White ran aground.” Bits of the ship’s remains have been seen through the dunes a few times over the decades after winter storms not as vicious as Sandy, but until now no one knew the sand was concealing wreckage the size of a bus. “Sandy moved the dunes much further,  over 70 feet from where they were before the storm. That’s why we now see so much of the wreck,” said Cheryl Hapke, a United States Geological Survey researcher and barrier island expert based out of St. Petersburg, Fla., who flew to New York prior to Sandy’s landfall when it became clear the storm would have historic impact in order to study the barrier island. “Sandy moved the dunes much further, over 70 feet from where they were before the storm. That’s why we now see so much of the wreck,” Hapke told ABCNews.com
