Construction crews in northeastern Florida discovered a 19th-century shipwreck while working on a road project, state officials said.
According to the Florida Department of Transportation, road crews unearthed the nearly intact wooden boat on Oct. 5 while working in St. Augustine near the Bridge of Lions on State Road A1A,
“We believe the vessel may have sunk unexpectedly and, over time, was silted in,” FDOT District 2 Secretary Greg Evans said in a statement, according to. “That is why it was preserved so well -- it was encapsulated in soil and mud, so there was no air contact for it to decay. It’s truly an incredible find.”
