Ground Zero diggers uncover hull of 18th century ship
Workers excavating the World Trade Centre site have unearthed the 10-metre hull of a ship believed to have been buried in the 18th century.
The vessel was probably used along with other debris to fill in land to extend lower Manhattan into the Hudson river, archaeologists have said.
It was hoped the artefact could be retrieved by the end of today, said archaeologist Molly McDonald. A boat specialist was going to the Ground Zero site to examine the find.
