In the shallow waters near the small Canadian town of Cape Ray in Newfoundland, the wreckage of a ship that scientists believe sank 100 years ago was discovered.

The 24-meter-long vessel is likely to have washed ashore after the tropical storm Fiona. The ship dates back to the 19th century, as its construction uses wooden dowels and copper stakes, which were common in the 1800s, The Telegraph reports.

Local residents are quite puzzled, as a decades-old secret may be revealed.

According to Neil Burgess, president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Shipwreck Preservation Society, the ship was "dislodged" from the wreck by a storm that damaged more than 100 homes in the town.

"If this ship was made of oak or beech, that means it was not made in Newfoundland, but probably in Europe. There are databases of shipwrecks, and we will be able to find the one that was recorded near Cape Ray," says Neil Burgess.

Researchers have already arrived at the site to determine how to preserve the find. There are concerns that the artifact could become an attractive target for souvenir hunters. There is also a risk that due to adverse weather conditions, the ship may sink back into the sea.
