From the July 16th USA Today "Ship Unearthed in NYC"
I came across an interesting photo and short blurb about the remains of an 18th century 32-foot long vessel that was discovered at the site of the former World Trade Center in New York City.
Construction workers unearthed it from the mud about thirty feet underground.
How it got there and how it wasn't discovered during the WTC construction is still a mystery. If it sank, that would mean that the site was once under water.
From the photo, it appears that a large portion of the hull is still in one piece. I don't know why they are working at the site but imagine it's probably for a memorial.
I hope to find out more information.
