A Sunken Ship Under City Streets: The World Trade Center Ship

Nichole Doub
On April 15 the College of Southern Maryland (CSM) Friday Night Lecture Series and the Charles County Archaeological Society of Maryland, Inc (CCASM) co-sponsored Nichole Daub's talk on the 18th century ship discovered beneath the World Trade Center in New York City last summer.  Nichole described how the ship was found and how it was excavated from the site for transfer to the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory.  She also explained the importance of conservation, especially for submerged wooden artifacts.

Nichole is the head conservator at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory that is located at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in St Leonard, Maryland.
