A mysterious shipwreck dating back 150 years, containing several artifacts including shoes, has been discovered near a bridge in Florida.The near complete shipwreck was discovered near the Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine, buried under 8 to 10 feet of sediment, during construction works, the Florida Department of Transportation reported.The 20-foot-long wreck was carefully extracted by archeologists, who discovered multiple artifacts onboard, including a left shoe made of leather.
While the boat's deck and hull was 'mostly well preserved' no mast was found.'The vessel is what is known as vernacular, which means it was likely built locally, with local materials, for domestic use. The artifacts, many located atop the buried vessel, helped confirm the initial dating of the vessel,' Pawn said.
