Workers at the site of the 9/11 attacks in NYC have discovered the buried hull of a 32-foot ship, apparently used back in the 18th century as fill to extend lower Manhattan into the Hudson River. A few yards away, they found a 100-pound anchor, about 4 feet wide. They’re not yet sure exactly how old the boat is. Archaeologists are working to date the timber and preserve it as quickly as possible, before exposure to air causes deterioration. 9/11 conspiracy theorists, have at it! (via Mitch Wagner)
