“The pictures below are of the old ship that is buried at Short Sands Beach. Every once in a while after a storm the ocean moves enough sand for it to be seen. Thought you might like to see it,” the York Police Department wrote.

The structure is believed to be a sailing vessel with a single mast called a sloop, according to the Portland Press Herald.

The weekend storm pounded the East Coast causing flooding, power outages, and large waves from Virginia to Maine.
