<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk7440807"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk18488841">On September 22, king tides and Hurricane Teddy amplified the effects of coastal erosion to displace and scatter a formerly intact shipwreck
site over a 9-acre area. The 145-year-old Essex-built fishing- and sand-schooner,
<i>Ada K. Damon</i>, ran aground during the “Christmas Storm of 1909” on Steep Hill Beach in what is now the Trustees of Reservations Crane Estate property. For the past 110 years, the shipwreck site had been a stable, mostly buried, intertidal archaeological
deposit and local landmark on the Ipswich shoreline. The site was the focus of the first-ever marine archaeological field schools in Massachusetts, run by the Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources (BUAR) from 2015-2017 with partners from Salem State
University, SEAMAHP, the National Park Service, the Nautical Archaeology Society, and the PAST Foundation. BUAR has conducted multiple site visits over the past several weeks to document and assess the shipwreck site’s current condition. BUAR is currently
working with the Trustees to document newly exposed elements of the shipwreck site and to develop a plan for the site’s near- and long-term management. Before and after images of the
<i>Ada K. Damon</i> shipwreck site are available on </span></span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/massczm/albums/72157716487837988"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk7440807"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk18488841">CZM’s Flickr site</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk7440807"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk18488841"></span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk7440807"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk18488841">.
