Following the finding, archaeologists were left scratching their heads.
When crews responding to the September 11 terrorist attacks discovered a shipwreck, they were astounded.
The World Trade Center terrorist attack site was still being excavated in 2010.
Archaeologists found a ship among the debris; it was only around 22 feet below street level.
It makes sense that the ancient wooden ship raised a lot of concerns. How did it arrive here? Why was it in this location? How did the ship get to be in the center of New York City?
Since then, researchers have unearthed the mysteries surrounding the enigmatic craft.

They were able to determine the age of the shipwreck by analyzing the tree rings on its wooden skeleton.
They learned that the wood from which the vessel was constructed originated in Philadelphia around 1773.
That being said, how in the world did a big wooden ship end up in the center of the city?
The World Trade Center’s exact location was in the Hudson River when Manhattan was initially inhabited.
Researchers are unsure about the cause of the ship’s sinking—a mishap or an accident.
Manhattan’s western shoreline shifted westward as New York built, finally burying the ship under debris and other waste.

Archaeologist Molly McDonald told CNN in 2014: “It’s such an intense site already based on its recent history, so to be in the midst of this urban, modern, very fraught location, and then to be sitting on what was a river bottom, with clams and fish, and the smell of low tide, was really an amazing juxtaposition.”
The ship would have been fully hidden from view by 1818, until the September 11 attacks of 2001.
And when Americans, New Yorkers, and people everywhere else watched in horror as a Boeing 767 filled with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel smashed into the World Trade Center’s northern tower on that terrible day, the ship was well and truly long forgotten.
The 110-story tower had a huge hole in it from the collision, which quickly killed hundreds of people.
An estimated 50,000 people worked in the buildings on a regular weekday.
It was estimated that an additional 140,000 individuals visited the Twin Towers on a daily basis.
It is mind-boggling that the World Trade Center was so big that it got its own zip code, 10048.
2,977 innocent individuals lost their lives as a result of the attacks, while thousands more suffered injuries.
And over the years, a great deal of people have passed by the location without realizing the nautical gem buried beneath.

His house was on the outskirts of town and was rumored to be built of cinder blocks. His presence didn’t appear to bother anyone.

When he felt his beard and hair were growing too long, he set them on fire. His concern for “hygiene” was limited to that. He had the same gray complexion and hair.

He lived to be 94 years old and appeared to be in good Health throughout his life, despite the fact that he didn’t always keep himself clean.

When it came to drinking water, the elderly man wasn’t terrified of it, despite what many others believed. It was reported that he drank up to five liters of water daily out of an unclean tin can.

He preferred to find food on the ground when it came to eating. Even though fresh food was offered to him by others, he would always prefer to find his own. He even declared that porcupines were his greatest animal and that he preferred roadkill. It was reported that he consumed roadkill flesh that, despite still being entire, appeared rotting or old.

He also used a pipe to vape animal excrement. He was rumored to enjoy smoking cigarettes as well, and he was once spotted puffing on multiples at once.

Despite having poor food and hygiene, he was reported to be in good health. In reality, he passed away at the age of 94, just a few months after neighbors persuaded him to take a bath.

Dr. Gholamreza Molavi of Tehran University of Medical Sciences’ School of Public Health examined the elderly man prior to his passing. They were surprised to learn that despite his lifestyle, he was in good health.

On the other hand, he contracted trichinosis, a parasitic infection transmitted by food. Given that he enjoyed consuming dead Animals found by the side of the road, this was not shocking. Either way, it didn’t significantly impact his Health.
