Buried shipwreck in the Boston Seaport District
In 2016, construction crews were digging to build a foundation for a new office tower. What they uncovered was a 50-foot wooden ship from the 1800’s. According to archeologists, the ship probably ran aground or crashed during a storm.
It was assumed that when the ship was scrapped, all the valuables were taken off the ship by the crew, and it was set ablaze and allowed to sink into the mud and get covered up for over 200 years.
