There's a guy here in town who specialises in Chris Crafts and has done
several from Lake Superior.

It is amazing that they've kept that well all these years.


Very cold water. You probably already know this, but there is a whole
industry recovering old growth logs retrieved from the bottom of Lake
Superior, very valuable wood.

Not only do I know it, but the desk that my hands are currently
resting on while I type this is made of cherry from those logs.

It's veneer over pine, but still. :)
