I missed this story previously, but the remains of an old ship was unearthed under the collapsed World Trade Center in 2010, and now scientists
believe that they know the origin of this ship. It seems to have been built from trees that were felled in Pennsylvania in 1773. Very cool!
Also, I love the description of the scientific article that reported the discovery as "probably the most attention grabbing story ever published in
Tree-Ring Research".
