The intrigue continues surrounding the wooden boat from the 1800s that was found under a road in downtown St. Augustine earlier this month during a construction proj
Archaeologists found dozens of artifacts in and around the boat. Now, those items are at the SEARCH, Inc. lab in Jacksonville. SEARCH is the archaeological firm hired by the Florida Department of Transportation to monitor the road construction site near the Bridge of Lions.
It’s rare for these things to survive for more than a hundred years but,"they fell into a nice anaerobic environment, and that’s why they survived," Turner explained. A portion of an oil lantern was also found in the boat, which Turner says suggests the boater could have been working when it was dark at some point.
And then small little bits of cloth blew the scientists' minds. DuChemin recalls thinking,"Holy cow!" "In the 1830's, there was a wooden bulkhead much further inland than the current seawall," Hendryx said.
