Dutch Ship "Tijger" discovered in Lower Manhattan

During subway construction near Greenwich and Dey Streets, workers unearthed part of the ship’s prow and keel roughly 20 feet underground—directly where the shoreline had once been. The recovered timbers were preserved and eventually displayed at the Museum of the City of New York. While it's unclear if more of the wreck remains buried beneath the World Trade Center site, Tyger represents a rare archaeological link to early Dutch exploration in Manhattan.
