Archaeologists have revealed that a shipwreck found along the Massachusetts coast is not the Warren Sawyer, a schooner that sank in 1884. Initial assessments suggested the wreckage belonged to the historic vessel, but further examination indicated it is a 50-foot section of an unidentified merchant ship from the late 19th or early 20th century. Researchers are now consulting historical records to determine the ship's identity.
