Fire Island, N.Y., Nov. 20, 2012 --vThe shipwreck of the Bessie White was unearthed from it's grave by Hurricane Sandy. Prior to the storm, the wooden remains were unseen by visitors to the island. She was lost in the fog in 1920, and not seen again until Sandy took away the layers of sand that hid her. Chris Ragazzo/FEMA
