History Rocks!
Sven suggested going down to the shipwreck again, so that is where we headed this afternoon. There has been an incredible amount of online interest. History rocks, I guess. Sven, who taught history, certainly agrees. Anyway, we found a steady stream of history buffs heading onto the beach, which, at low tide, was pockmarked with footprints from earlier visitors. We noticed new signs set up by the Seashore to discourage looters. I had thought the wreck would make a great tourist attraction in an eventual Wellfleet museum, but apparently not.The specialists expect the shipwreck will return to the sea and be covered up with sand again for the next 90 years ....
History Rocks!
