13462a. (photo) Schooner Nancy Aground on Nantasket Beach, February 20, 1927. Rare close photo shows the five masted schooner aground on the beach. The Nancy, a five masted schooner, was dragged anchor and was wrecked on Nantasket Beach during the storm of February 20, 1927. Built 1918 at Portland, OR., she was 259 ft long. The Nancy remained on Nantasket Beach for years and became a major tourist attraction. Until she was salvaged, dynamited and burned to the sand, thousands visited the scene. Eventually the hull was burned and the keel disappeared under the sand. Today only the keel remains – buried under the sand. Photo measures 3” x 4 ½” Clear, close, a few spots, light wear. (VG-). $32.
