Submerged wood?

I thought it was dumb too, but people even put boats in the water.


yes,but wood swells when wet,so it closes up gaps in the joinery. ;-)
My dad preferred wood boats,as he could take out a damaged piece,bolt in a
new one,and refinish it.
Some woods like Cypress are naturally water-resistant.
ISTR there's some place in the US where they recover old trees that became
waterlogged and sank to the lake bottom,and they mill it and it's
still better wood than what's logged today.
