Revolutionary War-Era Gunboat Found Underneath World Trade Center Wreckage Finds a Permanent Home in Upstate New York

In 2010, construction crews working in Lower Manhattan found the remains of a Revolutionary War-era gunboat buried deep underground. Now, after years of restoration work, the 18th-century vessel has found a new permanent home at the New York State Museum in Albany.

Quote"New York stood at the epicenter of our fight for freedom, and this gunboat is a physical reminder of that courage and grit," says Devin Lander, New York's state historian, in a museum statement. "To watch it rise again, plank by plank, is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness the intersection of archaeology, storytelling and national identity."
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leaders, and concerting measures in opposition to each other." ~John Adams 1780
