New Research Could Rewrite the Story of One of New York's Earliest Shipwrecks

In 1916, subway construction near Greenwich and Dey Streets in Lower Manhattan unearthed a surprising relic. Some 20 feet underground, workers turned up charred timber; digging further, the contours of an ancient ship came into view-its prow, keel, and ribs.
