I found this to be quite interesting and havn't seen a thread for it at time of posting.

You gotta wonder what else we've built over or should i say what else they've built over... parts of History are below us... parts of history which maybe they didn't want discovered!!

These Archeaologists do a good job.

Geez. This isn't from "that pit", it's from what will be a brand new parking structure.

The area under excavation, between Liberty and Cedar Streets, had not been dug out for the original trade center. The vessel, presumably dating from the mid- to late 1700s, was evidently undisturbed more than 200 years.

This isn't the first ship they've found in the area either.

Thats really interesting, I have no idea of the history of New York or the surrounding area. It's refreshing finding a new topic and something to dig into.

Too bad we don't put such interesting things in our land fills today. But who knows, today's trash is tomorrows treasure.

Oh my god. The bible is true. Noah's ark has been found. Though I though it would be older.
