It’s a real treasure trove...”Among the remnants pulled from the ship are a 19th-century fork, a lime-barrel lid, and hemp fiber.”
Cool, nevertheless.

Was the captain’s name Kennedy?

I seem to recall that they would take old ships, fill them with rocks and sink them as seawalls. (One man’s trash is another man’s treasure). I hope they can excavate it and study it quickly so it doesn’t delay the builder too much.

During the "Big Dig", they shut down construction for some period of time (day(s), week(s)?) because workers found the remnants of a colonial-era latrine.
I think archeologists recovered stuff such as broken pottery shards, nothing worth the million dollar-plus shutdown costs.

San Francisco from Montgomery Street to today’s waterfront is all landfill — most of it on top of abandoned ships. Ships arrived in the 1850s and everybody took off for the gold fields. There were no crews left for the return-trip.

My buddy and I used to make shipwreck furniture out of ship’s timbers that we salvaged out of Lake Michigan, up in northern Michigan, in Charlevoix, near Petoskey. It is beautiful white oak, and is very sturdy. He still makes it to this day.
