A Florida road crew found a shipwreck — estimated to date back to the 1800s — buried about eight to 10 feet under a highway during routine construction work.
Road crews found an intact, centuries-old shipwreck embedded in a Florida highway during routine construction work earlier this month. The 20-foot-long artifact, believed to date back to the 1800s, was buried under about eight to 10 feet of sediment near the Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine and was so well persevered that crews found a left leather boot.
's Dr. James Delgado, who led the excavation and recovery, said in a statement that they believe the vessel 'was a small single-masted, shallow-draft sailing craft of the 19th century.' 'It was likely used to extract fish and shellfish from coastal waterways and directly offshore,' Delgado said.
