    So...uh...how does a ship from the 1700s get there like that?!? Crazy!
    AO is about one thing. Going around in loops. No one cares to learn, they only care to live inside their boxes and ignore the truth!

    Coastlines tend to change a lot during the centuries.

    Wow, I bet that was a surprise to dig up. Curious as to how they missed it when they began construction on the towers. More surprised as to how it survived when the towers came down.

    Quite a find. Thank you for this link.

    Well:

    The article says that people put it there on purpose. I guess it was better suited to be landfill than a ship at the time. Interesting how 18th century garbage is now a treasure. Interesting find, thanks AssX


    Sort of unrelated to the article, but I hate when people refer to the WTC Site as "Ground Zero". I always think of a giant bomb going off, so I assumed this thread was about a boat being found in Hiroshima or something. No idea why I'm bringing this up though.

    The previous WTC towers never had foundations that deep. So they build just on top of it. And the collapse of the towers did not generate that much force.
    So anything buried at that depth is unlikely to be disturbed.

    If you look at the photos of where the wreck was found, you can see fill layers. They were adding to Manhattan Island, to make it bigger, from the moment the Indians left. It was safer, and more easily protected than the mainland. What I can't figure out is why they didn't reuse that cut lumber? That's a bit of a mystery, if you ask me.

    McDonald and archaeologist A. Michael Pappalardo were at the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks when the discovery was made Tuesday morning.


    Very Interesting, and strange. I'll have to follow this one.
