In 1916, subway construction near Greenwich and Dey Streets in Lower Manhattan unearthed a surprising relic. Some 20 feet underground, workers turned up charred timber; digging further, the contours of an ancient ship came into view-its prow, keel, and ribs. The wreck was later deemed to be the Tyger, a 17th-century vessel that represents a rare archaeological trace of early Dutch exploration in Manhattan.
