Wow!!!! What a find!! We got slammed by a nor'easter last week and Assateague Island was closed. The Park Service spent a week working nonstop trying to get the beach open again.
The beach just opened the evening before, so we took a morning trip out to see what washed up and what the storm revealed. This was our best find to date!
Thanks as always for watching.

Hey Jay, thanks for the vids. They really put me there when I can’t make it down myself. The wood uncovered on the beach is old forest stumps that long ago was fronting the marshes on the bayside. Over time the barrier islands roll over themselves from the beach to the bay, migrating closer to the mainland. The dunes smother the forest as the island migrates west and eventually the beach sits where forest was. The big erosion from the storm exposed what probably hasn’t been seen for ages, including the shipwreck.

Thanks Michael! That's absolutely incredible about the wood and makes sense. Just hard to fathom how much the island has changed throughout the years! Thanks a ton for commenting!

Great video Jay! That side of the ship was awesome! OC Life Saving museum should put that entire side intact at their museum for display. Crane it out and put it on a flat bed. Bring it over and display it on the boardwalk next to the anchor. People would enjoy seeing that. What tire pressure do you run out there for safety? Nice job Jay!

That would be an awesome museum piece! Tire pressure I try to stay between 20 and 22psi. Park service recommends 15psi but I don't like to go that low.

I am familiar with that north area. A couple of larger wooden hull fishing boats went down in the early 1920's. I think that is what is being washed up based on construction that I can decipher.

When I lived in Ocean City Maryland 20 + years ago I used to drive there to venture around there see the horses and see the beauty of it all and I remember a bunch of huge wooden picnic benches we could sit on and collect all the cool stuff that washed up and relax,and a shack type building on stilts that was unstable. I can remember that the wooden picnic benches were huge and placed with heavy metal bottoms. That could be the spot ❤️

High tides flooded everything, but weren't nearly as bad on the beach in ocean city....probably (just a guess) because they just wrapped up the beach replenishment project. State park on Assateague wasn't as bad as the OSV side.

Thanks! Only reason I think it was washed up was because of the way it was laying....it didn't have any sand covering it. So I think it came lose off the ocean floor and the waves/wind pushed it up. My wife and I were wondering though...could you imagine the things buried under the sand?!

Two Assateague memories: First, around 1990, I saw on the beach what was said to be a presidential compound where President John F. Kennedy was said to have taken some time off in the early 1960s. By 1990, the ocean was just about lapping at it during high tides. I remember it to be parallel to the shore with maybe wings from the ends to the northeast and southeast, but not sure if this is right. Perhaps someone knows where it was or has some pictures. My thinking is that it was not far from the main parking area, perhaps to the north. Second, ever wonder why Ocean City's old downtown had streets running to the north from 1st Street to 146th Street, but going south, there is only South 1st and 2nd Streets? The answer is that the inlet broke through in 1933 and flooded South 3rd Street and everything to the south became inaccessible. My father remembered seeing old hotels and structures south of the inlet that maybe stood until the new north end of Assateague migrated west, being starved of sand by the jetties. The encroaching ocean destroyed them all, I suppose, unless they were torn down before that.

@ReelJayB 2 жыл бұрын

The house is the McCabe house. I REALLLLLLY wish you had a picture of it!!!! Nixon and Clinton stayed there. I believe it washed into the ocean in the early 90's. mdcoastdispatch.com/2015/03/12/assateague-island-has-ties-to-former-presidents/ That's some interesting stuff about South 3rd St!

@bob4wall 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the link to the article. I didn’t remember the house quite like the photo showed it. I vaguely remembered a bigger window where you could see right through the house to the surf. But I’m probably wrong because there are the angled wings I was describing. That photo was earlier than my arrival, because it showed sand dunes in front. I remembered something more like a ranch house. Maybe the dune had partially swallowed the house when I saw it. It also seems that the ranger that spoke to use there may have been wrong about Kennedy. I knew Nixon had retreats at San Clemente, Key Biscayne and Camp David. So I didn’t associate Assateague with Nixon. But the article clearly recorded the Nixon stay there. As for Clinton, he made his presidential visit, but 2000 was too late to have seen the house which apparently didn’t survive that long.
