18th Century Ship Found At WTC Site

Guess what I heard and read on NY1 today. While excavators were digging at the WTC site to get it ready to put in the new foundation, they uncovered something amazing.

Go here and see what they found:

I stated in another forum that you never know what can be found underground in this city. This find proves my point.

I think I will go get a pick and shovel, go down into the basement and start digging.

@hhusted I read this in the NYT and saw it on the news quite fascinating isn't it? You never know what you might find down there :)

@Uptowngirl: Yes, indeed. Like I said in another forum, NYC has a lot of history buried underground.

This is AWESOME! I'm sorry that this discovery had to come about under such tragic circumstances, but all the same - what a story!
