This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's really long and quite wide but no sign of a mast. No idea what the history of this thing is.

It's not that old. Granted I only had one class in marine archaeology but I see treenails poking out here and there and I don't see a large keel. So I'm gonna guess built 19th or early 20th century and its a barge of some sort. Flat bottomed for river or lake work.
