Dr. Warren C. Riess talks about his book "The Ship that Held Up Wall Street,” the story of the discovery, excavation, and investigation of a ship entombed in Manhattan’s financial district for more than two hundred years. The ship proved to be the first major discovery of a British colonial merchant ship, but what was it and why was it buried in New York?
Dr. Riess is a Research Associate Professor, Emeritus of History at the University of Maine and the author of three books. During the past forty years his research and teaching have focused on the maritime archaeology and history of the Americas.
