Default Which Bronze?

Be careful here. Bronze may not be the best choice. Please keep in mind
dissimilar metals that could cause electrolysis. Bronze all by itself may
live quite happily for hundreds of years by itself, but with other metal
objects could cause serious corrosion to itself and other objects attached
to the boat. So, what else is attched to the boat and underwater?
