Ship Found at Ground Zero

Wow.

Workers excavating at the World Trade Center site have unearthed the 32-foot-long hull of a ship likely buried in the 18th century.

The vessel probably was used along with other debris to fill in land to extend lower Manhattan into the Hudson River, archeologists said.

Archeologists Molly McDonald and A. Michael Pappalardo were at “ground zero,” the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on Tuesday morning when workers uncovered the artifacts.

  3. Found within the ship’s hull were the remains of Josiah Hoffa founder of the fledgling teamsters union, and ancestor of Jimmy Hoffa.

  4. Noah’s ark? 
    But they are going to stop work, spend millions of dollars studying the damn ship when it probably was a junked ship and waste a lot of time.

  5. Just thinking? Could we say this site now has historical value and block the proposed mosque build ?
