There is a phantom shipwreck in Provincetown:
The wreck of the British warship HMS Somerset III, which was guarding Boston Harbor the night Paul Revere slipped by on his legendary journey to Lexington in 1775, has resurfaced in the shifting sands off Cape Cod.
"We know the wreck is going to disappear again under the sand, and it may not resurface again in our lifetimes,'' said William P. Burke, the historian at the Cape Cod National Seashore, noting that the last time any part of the Somerset had been sighted was 37 years ago.
That deserves a pilgrimage.
