Workers digging at the site where the World Trade Center stood
prior to the terrorist attack have discovered a buried ship. An anchor
weighing approximately 45 kilograms was discovered yesterday, but it is
unclear if the two are connected.
The ship is thought to date back to the 1700s and was 9.75
metres long. At this stage it is believed that the vessel was used,
along with other miscellaneous debris, as landfill to extend Manhattan.
The two archaeologists who investigated the find, A Michael
Pappalardo and Molly McDonald, say the discovery is significant but
details won´t emerge until further investigations are carried out.
