It had been filled with rubble and buried as a crib ship when the East River extended this far inland. Rigging, decorations, chandlery, gear, etc. had been removed.<br /> The hull was sheathed with wooden planks that were more than half the 10 cm thickness of the main planking. It overlaid a layer of felt or hair bonded with mastic material and was fastened with square iron nails.<br /> &lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> 1.
