200-year-old ship found at Ground Zero

THIS is the ship buried two centuries ago as landfill to expand a little island called Manhattan that re-emerged this week from the mud near Ground Zero.

A 32-foot piece of the vessel was found in soil 20 feet below street level as bulldozers excavated a garage for the future World Trade Center in New York.

Historians say the ship, believed to date to the 1700s, was obsolete by the time it was used around 1810 to extend the shores of lower Manhattan.
