Old sailing ships were made of wood and it was not unusual for them to be floating for more than 50 years. Some were then turned into prison scows and they lasted even longer.
Wood in water or very wet ground lasts a long, long time.

Why is that? It seems logical that wood under water would rot out faster than wood in dry ground. :???:

Needs oxygen to rot. It will become wqater logged and may deteriorate over time, but it won;t rot
