FLORIDA: A construction crew in downtown St. Augustine unearthed a well-preserved 19th-century ship lying around 8 feet beneath the current street level. The single-mast, flat-bottomed boat, which would have measured around 28 feet long, was probably used to fish or collect shellfish from local waterways. It likely sank or was abandoned along the shoreline before being gradually silted over and buried. Archaeologists also found a kerosene lamp, a pair of shoes, and coconut-shell cups.
Mexican authorities announced the discovery of an extensive 250 and 500.
