🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️

-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

During excavation for One World Trade Center in 2010, workers made a remarkable discovery—an 18th-century shipwreck buried 22 feet below street level.

Tree-ring analysis dated the ship’s timbers to around 1773, with the wood traced to the Philadelphia area. The 32-foot vessel is believed to have been a coastal cargo ship, used for trade along the Eastern Seaboard. Experts suggest it may have been intentionally sunk as landfill during Manhattan’s shoreline expansion in the early 1800s.

Archaeologists uncovered iron nails, fastenings, and animal bones nearby, offering rare insights into early American shipbuilding and daily maritime life in colonial times.
