Some waters have just what it takes to preserve instead of destroying, especially in cold waters.

The example of the wooden sailing ship Bredalbane[?] illustrates this. (I don't think that's how the name is spelled, but I don't remember the correct spelling right now
)
Also, have a look at this site on the schooners Hamilton and Scourge, sunk during the war of 1812.

If wooden ships from the 19th century can be preserved in cold water, (although the H&S are in fresh water without salt) then maybe U-190 is alright as well (although it is a completely different situation).
