A crew sent to clean up the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks stumbled upon a centuries-old shipwreck. When the site of the World Trade Center attack was unearthed in 2010, researchers found strange things under the rubble. According to Futurism, archaeologists have found an ancient ship 22 feet (6.7 meters) below the road.
The old wooden ship baffled researchers, and the team scrambled to figure out where it came from and how it ended up in the middle of the Big Apple.
Scientists have been unraveling the mysteries beneath the mysterious ship ever since. They were able to determine its age by analyzing the rings of the wooden skeleton of the shipwreck.
They found that the wood used to build the ship came from Philadelphia around her 1773. Why was there a big wooden ship in the middle of the city? Well, when Manhattan was first settled, the site where the World Trade Center was built was actually on the Hudson River.

And at 8:45 a.m. on that fateful day, New Yorkers, Americans, and people around the world feared that a Boeing 767 with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel would crash into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

An additional 140,000 people passed through the Twin Towers each day as visitors. The World Trade Center was so big that it actually had its own zip code of 10048, which is amazing. A total of 2,977 innocent people died in the attack. Thousands more were injured. And countless people have walked this place over the years, unaware of the sea treasures hidden beneath.
