Ship Found in New York Dig

just_ann_now forwarded the news that the remains of an 18th-century ship have been found at the World Trade Center site. Archaologists suspect that the hull was deliberately sunk as landfill. A reader suggested that they clean it up and rent it out for $1,975 a month. Lol...

I'm both fascinated and a little bit creeped out by the whole thing. Also, looking for HORNBLOWER TIME-TRAVEL AU. Hah!

I bet all archeology departments from the East Coast are already fighting each other with tooth and claw about access to the excavation site.

I noticed a very short article on this in the UK press. Fascinating discovery, let us know if you hear any more about it. Wonder if they'll try to preserve it? Waterlogged wood on that scale is a bugger to conserve!
