18th Century Ship Used as Landfill Under World Trade Center
18th Century Ship Used as Landfill Under World Trade Center
On Wednesday, Archeologists and the work crew found at the same World Trade Center site, a 100-pound anchor just a few yards from the 18th century ship's hull. The anchor is approximately 3-4 feet wide but they're not sure if it belongs to that ship. The crew will carefully try to excavate the extremely fragile hull, seeing if any large pieces can be lifted out of the ground unbroken. The other archeologist at the site, A. Michael Pappalardo said, "I kept thinking of how closely it came to being destroyed."
