On Tuesday at the World Trade Center, the hull of a ship was found at Ground Zero. The ship is likely from the 1700s and may have been sunk there to add land to Manhattan during the early 1800s.

That's very cool.  How on earth did they not find it when they built the WTC?

The article says that the hull is south of where the towers stood.

I like the guy @0:28 waving his phone like: "Hey, genius, it's not the wife... Pick it up."

No, seriously, that's pretty cool. She acted like it's not that uncommon, either.

sounds to me like the would use old ships for landfill.
