...during cleanup after 9/11 has been identified as to type, but no name yet.

It is a Hudson River Sloop and was active during the American Revolution.

I hadn't either... Neat find and quite a bit of history there. Now to figure out 'which' one it was... :-)

@Brock Townsend: That might remain a mystery. Records from that time period are likely to be fragmentary, at best.
