Michael Pappalardo, RPA Elizabeth D. Meade, RPA Molly McDonald, RPA Diane Dallal, RPA Carrie Atkins Fulton Warren Riess, Ph.D. Norman Brouwer Date of Report: August 2013 Executive Summary BACKGROUND The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) is currently redeveloping the World Trade Center (WTC) Site in Lower Manhattan. As part of this redevelopment the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) is constructing an underground Vehicular Security Center (VSC) on two blocks (Blocks 56 and 54) adjacent to the south side of the WTC Site bounded counter clock-wise by Liberty, Route 9A/West Street, Cedar, Washington, Albany, and Greenwich Streets. From February 2009 through September 2011 AKRF provided archaeological monitoring during site excavation activities. On July 13, 2010, AKRF archaeologists were monitoring excavation and observed the curved timbers of the hull of what proved to be the stern of a buried ship (the “WTC Ship” or “ship remnant”). Shortly after discovery and a preliminary assessment of the ship, the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) determined the remains to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Construction efforts were diverted so as to avoid the location of the WTC Ship and LMDC directed AKRF to assemble a team of experts and conservators to plan and execute a short-term mitigation plan for the WTC Ship so that it could be removed from the site in a controlled manner before its condition was threatened by its exposure to the elements. The plan was implemented over a two-week period in late-July 2010. Remnants of the bow of the WTC Ship were discovered on the east half of the site in August 2011. These remains were documented and removed from the site within one week of their discovery. As of this writing, the remains are in stable condition and are undergoing a conditions analysis in anticipation of preservation at the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation (CMAC), Texas A&M University. This Technical Report was completed as part of an effort to mitigate the unavoidable adverse effect of construction of the VSC upon the WTC Ship pursuant to the WTC Memorial and Development Plan Programmatic Agreement dated April 22, 2004. SITE DEVELOPMENT The WTC Ship was discovered at a depth of between 11.5 and 20 feet below mean sea level, or between about 20 to 30 feet below the modern street grade, and appears to have been incorporated into the landfill making up Block 56 and Washington Street by the early 1790s. Prior to that time, the area had been an active waterway and was one of the busiest slips along the Hudson River. Three individuals are associated with the landfilling effort in the vicinity of the WTC Ship: (1) John G. Leake, who constructed and maintained the wharf to the south, in the vicinity of modern Cedar Street; (2) George Lindsay, who constructed and maintained the wharf to the north, along Liberty Street, and filled in the water lots on the north half of Block 56, including the location of the WTC Ship; and (3) Barnardus Swartwout Jr., who filled the water lots making up the south half of Block 56. The filling in of the ship’s location appears to have occurred in response to a development boom along the Hudson River after the American victory in the Revolutionary War. The block was entirely filled and partially developed by 1818. SHIP CONSTRUCTION The correlation between the growth rings of the timber samples from the ship remnant is sufficiently strong to suggest that the WTC Ship was built (at least partially) from timbers that grew in the same S-1 World Trade Center Memorial and Development Plan—Data Recovery and Analysis of the WTC Ship locality in the Philadelphia region and that were felled in the late-18th century. Depending on how long the timber was seasoned or stored prior to the vessel’s construction, the ship may have been built between the late 1770s and the 1780s. Several different wood types were used to construct the ship, including spruce and pine (soft woods used for the internal planking), white oak (a hard wood used for the vessel’s frames, deck beams, and some ceiling planks), and hickory (a durable wood that was used for the keel). The original intact vessel would likely have had a breadth of more than 20 feet and a length of 50 to 60 feet. Several hundred pieces of the vessel were recovered, including the inner portion of the hull (or ceiling planking); the strong heavy frames that provided the ship’s strength and maintained its shape; large flat planks that comprised the outer portion of the hull; the stern knee, which weighed over 500 pounds and supported the sternpost and rudder; the keel and keelson; and a small deck that likely supported a brick galley hearth. The hearth would have been used by the ship’s crew to cook food and generate warmth. The majority of the fasteners used to construct the WTC Ship were iron and few wooden pegs (trunnels) were observed. Unusual aspects of the ship’s construction led to the hypothesis that the ship was constructed in a small shipyard, likely in close proximity to where the trees grew. If the ship was constructed in the Philadelphia area, the center of America’s shipbuilding industry in the 18th century, it is unknown if it was constructed for use in that region or for use elsewhere. The ship is consistent with the construction methodology of a class of ship known as the Hudson River Sloop. Like Hudson River Sloops, which were designed specifically to transport large cargoes and groups of passengers along the shallow, rocky waters of the Hudson River, the WTC Ship had a broad beam, shallow draft, and a mast that was stepped aft of the bow by approximately one-third of its overall length. These construction decisions would have maximized the amount of cargo space at the expense of speed and strength. Therefore, the WTC Ship was most likely used as a merchant trading vessel in shallow, protected waters—such as those along the coastal United States and/or Hudson River—and was not likely built to be an ocean-going vessel. However, the remains of shipworms that infested its timbers prove that the vessel went as far as the Caribbean, or a similar locale with warm, salty waters. The WTC Ship was subjected to hard use during its active period, and its keel was heavily worn, presumably from frequent landings. Many repairs were observed in its outer planking, frames, and ceiling planking. As timbers were damaged or rotted, they were replaced with new timbers or smaller filler pieces. It is therefore possible that it was constructed for use in a sheltered river environment, but was ultimately used to transport cargo to distances greater than those intended by the shipbuilder, resulting in significant wear and tear to the vessel. If the ship was constructed between the 1770s and the 1780s, as the dendrochronological analysis of its timbers would suggest, and incorporated into the landfill by the 1790s, the ship would therefore have experienced a very short period of active use, and was possibly only on the water for 10 to 20 years. It is possible that the re-use of timbers from an older vessel or the replacement of older timbers with freshly cut specimens could prevent the identification of the actual date of the ship’s construction. It would appear that years of hard use, frequent repairs, and significant shipworm infestation resulted in a shortened functional lifespan for the vessel. MARINE LIFE It is not known if the vessel went to the Caribbean frequently, or if its sole journey to that area resulted in the shipworm damage that brought about its ultimate demise. However, the evidence of marine life observed and collected during the ship’s removal provides insight into the events that surrounded the deposition of the WTC Ship after it was no longer sea worthy. The remains of marine organisms found both on and within the ship appear to indicate that the vessel sat in or near its present location (or in a S-2 Executive Summary similar location) and was partially submerged for at least two years before the land around it was filled in. Oysters and barnacles attached to the sternpost, planks, and keel provide compelling evidence that the ship remnant was exposed to the water of the lower Hudson River for some time prior to landfilling. Oysters, which do not tend to survive travel from one port to another due to their sensitivity to salinity, were found on the hull of the ship remnant, suggesting that the vessel was submerged in or near the site throughout the two- to three-year life span of the largest oysters that were collected.

TIIOREAU ago you could see the top of a pitchpine, of the kind called yellow pine hereabouts, though it is not a distinct species, projecting above the surface in deep water, many rods from the shore.It was even supposed by some that the pond had sunk, and this was one of the primitive forest that formerly stood there.I find that even so long ago as 179Q, in a "Topographical Descrip- tion of the Town of Concord," by one of its citizens, in the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical So- ciety, the author, after speaking of Walden and White Ponds, adds, "In the middle of the latter may be seen, when the water is very low, a tree which appears as if it grew in the place where it now stands, although the roots are fifty feet below the surface of the water; the top of this tree is broken off, and at that place measures four- teen inches in diameter." In the spring of '4I talked with the man who lives nearest the pond in Sudbury, who told me that it was he who got out this tree ten or fifteen years before. As near as he could remember, it stood twelve or fifteen rods from the shore, where the water was thirty or forty feet deep. It was in the winter, and he had been getting out ice in the forenoon, and bad resolved that in the afternoon, with the aid of his neigh- bors, he would take out the old yellow pine. He sawed a channel in the ice to'ard the shore, and hauled it over and along and out on to the ice withoxen; but, before lie had gone far in his work, he was surprised to find that it was wrong end upward, with the stumps of the branches pointing down, and the small end firmly fastened in the sandy bottom.It was about a foot in diameter at the big end, and he had expected to geta good saw-log, but THE PONDS 85 it was so rotten as to be fit only for fuel, if for that.

    DIGITAL 3D RECONSTRUCTION OF BRITISH 74-GUN SHIP-OF-THE-LINE, HMS COLOSSUS, FROM ITS ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS A Thesis by MICHAEL KENNETH LEWIS Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Filipe Castro Committee Members, Chris Dostal Ergun Akleman Head of Department, Darryl De Ruiter May 2021 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2021 Michael Lewis ABSTRACT Virtual reality has created a vast number of solutions for exhibitions and the transfer of knowledge. Space limitations on museum displays and the extensive costs associated with raising and conserving waterlogged archaeological material discourage the development of large projects around the story of a particular shipwreck. There is, however, a way that technology can help overcome the above-mentioned problems and allow museums to provide visitors with information about local, national, and international shipwrecks and their construction. 3D drafting can be used to create 3D models and, in combination with 3D printing, develop exciting learning environments using a shipwreck and its story. This thesis is an attempt at using an 18th century shipwreck and hint at its story and development as a ship type in a particular historical moment, from the conception and construction to its loss, excavation, recording and reconstruction. ii DEDICATION I dedicate my thesis to my family and friends. A special feeling of gratitude to my parents, Ted and Diane Lewis, and to my Aunt, Joan, for all the support that allowed me to follow this childhood dream. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr.

  • The Twelve Apostles: Design, Construction, and Function Of
    THE TWELVE APOSTLES: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND FUNCTION OF LATE 16TH-CENTURY SPANISH GALLEONS A Dissertation by JOSE LUIS CASABAN BANACLOCHA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cemal Pulak Committee Members, Kevin Crisman James Bradford Donny Hamilton Head of Department, Cynthia Werner December 2017 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2017 José Luis Casabán Banaclocha ABSTRACT The development of the Spanish galleon as a specialized warship took place in Spain during the 16th century. A series of prototypes built in Spain in that century incorporated concepts and technological solutions from both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic maritime traditions, and became the basis for this new type of vessel. The Spanish galleon was designed in response to changes in Atlantic trade routes at the beginning of the 16th century when, as a result of Spanish transoceanic expansion, new and more specialized vessels were needed for both the coastal defense of Spain and its overseas territories, as well as to escort the oceanic fleets. In November 1588, King Philip II of Spain ordered the construction of 12 new galleons of 500, 600, and 800 toneladas, four ships of each tonnage, specifically designed as warships. These galleons were to replace the losses that occurred after the failure of the Spanish Armada against England, since the chronic Spanish shortage of warships was aggravated by the loss of some of the best naval units. This decision marked the beginning of the largest shipbuilding program attempted in Spain until that moment.
