Frederick Griffing's ship refers to the remains of a sailing vessel buried beneath the current Levi's Plaza in San Francisco where Frederick Griffing's wharf previously existed. [2] When the plaza was constructed in 1978, the archaeological site was discovered. The ship is believed to be either the Palmyra or the William Grey. [3] [4]
