During an annual river bank clean up, a Yarmouth Parks & Recreation crew member discovered what appeared to be an old retaining wall behind the muddy brush. The impact of the discovery was apparent to idle joggers and picnic goers by the large cranes and industrial power washers being footed on the east bank of the Royal River. University of Massachusetts Amherst professor of Archeology provided two photos, “All I can say at this point is that the type of limestone unearthed down there is not native to Maine”. A long log was on muddy blue tarp with a small identification tag reading “Mast, metal-banded. Late 1700s. ‘Sheelsy’ burned into an open mortise” Dr. R. J. Neandheo declined further comment.
