Ground Zero Ship

Archaeologists are slowly uncovering the mystery of the 18th century ship found at Ground Zero back in July.So far they know it was a 2-masted vessel, probably between 60 and 70 feet. They found seeds, pits and nuts, and even animal skins and fur attached to the ship's bottom. They're still not clear whether the ship sank or if it was stuck in the river bottom on purpose to make more land for Manhattan. Click here for video of the ship.
