I found this interesting. I know here in SF, there are many sunken ships buried under the financial district...the land was filled at some point to extend the City and they were underneath. I'm guessing the same happened in New York at some point.

Workers excavating at the World Trade Center site have unearthed the 32-foot-long hull of a ship likely buried in the 18th century.

The vessel probably was used along with other debris to fill in land to extend lower Manhattan into the Hudson River, archeologists said.

Archeologists Molly McDonald and A. Michael Pappalardo were at the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on Tuesday morning when workers uncovered the artifacts.

"We noticed curved timbers that a back hoe brought up," McDonald said Wednesday. "We quickly found the rib of a vessel and continued to clear it away and expose the hull over the last two days."

The two archeologists work for AKRF, a firm hired to document artifacts discovered at the site. They called Tuesday's find significant but said more study was needed to determine the age of the ship.

Boring!!! Big deal they buried some junked ships when filling in land. There also was a wall at the end, thus...Wall street. Figures you are from SF,. Bet you are glad you bought your cats when you did.

Hello,

I hope they are able to identify the ship. I love reading about naval history, and find that the ultimate fate of various ships after their decommissioning remains a mystery. If they can identify this ship, then its personal history can be amended with: Decommissioned, broken up, used as fill in New York during X years of construction. Recovered during construction at Ground Zero.

The voyage goes on long after the ship stops floating, it seems.

Yeah Anthony, I find such things fascinating too. When I first heard about the sunken ships under SF, I envisioned them all, entombed in dirt, and got a shiver down my spine. Would love to know more...
