Thanks for the lumber pond tip and link. That's a good story there!

So wooden ships only continue to float after years because the planks expand and stop the interior of the hull filling with water, even if the individual planks would sink on their own?

All ships "float" because the amount of water that they displace
equals the gross weight of the ship :-)
