Breaking news! The Laurie Ann Barns ship found washed up!! The story: Many years ago, the Laurie Ann Barns had sunk, and over 10 people out of 250 died. The ship was used for passengers from England to visit our small island. Fortunately they were just getting started, so no passengers were aboard; only the crew and a few nantucketers. The ship sank 40 miles out to sea, the captain, 8 crew members and the cook died. The ship sank because of a fire. First the main sail caught on fire, then the boat itself caught on fire. Life rafts were lowered and everyone got off except for the 10 unfortunate people. The cook got trapped in the kitchen, the 8 crew members drowned. And the captain let a little boy take his spot on the life raft.. The little boy had gotten separated from his parents, so he hid in a barrel luckily the captain found him.
