I've just read on MSN that storm Babet has washed up a section of, what appears to be, part of a wooden ship, onto a N.Yorks beach. It's believed to be from the Ersk, a Whitby whaler lost in 1826.

Mystery structure that washed up on the beach during Storm Babet ‘could be 200-year-old shipwreck’
Excellent example of tree nails.
Thanks for adding the pics, Jimsky, as I have no idea how to.
Adding images is very easy. On each post, there is a button (low left corner) labeled 'Attach files' This should open a new window on your computer to choose the images or other supported documents to add. You can choose single or multiple files at the time.
Another option is to just Drag and drop images to your posts. Either way will work!
Has Storm Babet solved mystery of the missing Esk?
The huge wooden structure was first spotted by dog walkers on Marske-by-the-Sea beach in North Yorkshire on Saturday following strong winds and huge waves caused by the storm.
I wonder, if it's deck or hull - my inclination is to go for deck?
Wow! Amazing find.
