87. Loss Boats Found Under San Francisco

Since eight thousand BC, ships have played a major role in economics and transport. You can therefore imagine that there are a large number of ships lying at the bottoms of the seas, as they did not all meet a happy end.
Archaeologists discovered ship wreckage not on the surface of the ocean, but under the streets and buildings in downtown San Francisco. Over the years, archaeologists have discovered the remains of ships that were docked at Yerba Buena Cove. They were then abandoned in the Gold Rush. Estimates claim that another 35 ships could be hidden under San Francisco. Over the years, as the city expanded, the bay filled up and ships simply merged with it.
