My guess is that the ship was used as fill. Aside from burning it, that would be a pretty good use for an old ship. Some of the stuff found seems interesting, but I wonder how much money they would like to spend on figuring out what it is and trying to put it back together? Seems like it would be a big waste of money to restore the ship just for it to sit in a museum or get minimal use.
