FLORIDA ROAD CONSTRUCTION CREW DIGS UP 19TH CENTURY BOAT

DW: Maybe they hit a long lost part of It's A Small World...spooky

A road construction crew working on a project in downtown St. Augustine, Florida made a shocking discovery recently when they unwittingly uncovered a 19th-century boat. The Florida Department of Transportation was hard at work on a drainage improvement project when they found timber that was attached to a 20-foot-long wooden ship.

Southeastern Archaeological Research, or SEARCH, is now working on exhuming the boat, which the SEARCH Vice President says, "has the characteristics of a locally built craft, most likely used in fishing or maybe general carrying trade." The team also found more objects like “old ceramics containers, bottles, rusty bits of iron, as well as cuts of bone, possibly from someone's chops they had for dinner.”
