 Bad example there also: the unit charged with overseeing Constitution’s maintenance and repair, estimates that 10 to 15 percent of the ship’s fabric is composed of timber installed between 1795 and 1797. This “original” wood includes the ship’s keel, lower futtocks, and the deadwood at the stem and stern. Essentially a new frigate; currently in drydock #1 at Boston for a few years & $4 million dollars! I wonder how much will be left this time? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2344360#post2344360
