When Victor Mastone got a call last week informing him that the ribs of a ship were protruding through the sand on a Hull beach, he dropped everything and made for the harborside town.
As the state director of underwater archeological resources, Mastone says those are the calls he dreams about.
“The lesson I have learned — and it took me many years to learn — is as soon as you get the call, get out there. Because chances are if you don’t, the wreckage will get covered up,” he said.
Mastone believes the latest discovery, found by a beachgoer while the tide was out at Nantasket Beach last week, is the remains of a wooden cargo ship used to carry supplies like timber in the late 1800s.
