NEW YORK -- Workers at the World Trade Center site are excavating a 32-foot-
long ship hull that apparently was used in the 18th century as part of the
fill that extended lower Manhattan into the Hudson River.
It's hoped the artifact can be retrieved by the end of the day on Thursday,
said archaeologist Molly McDonald. A boat specialist was going to the site
to take a look at it.
McDonald said she wanted to at least salvage some timbers; it was unclear if
any large portions could be lifted intac
