Delving Deeper into the World Trade Center Ship Site
About Us
As reported in the New York Times, AKRF archaeologists have made another exciting discovery at the World Trade Center (WTC) Vehicular Security Center (VSC) and Tour Bus Parking Facility site, where the stern of an 18th-century ship was unearthed a year ago.
In July 2011, the archaeologists were back at the scene of the find locating portions of the bow of the vessel. This important excavation and subsequent analysis has allowed the world a glimpse into the New York City of two centuries before.
AKRF’s archaeology efforts at the VSC site are an extension of our long-time involvement with WTC reconstruction including the successful completion of environmental reviews for the WTC Memorial and Redevelopment Project for Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) and for the WTC PATH Terminal and the VSC site for the Port Authority.
