Large Sailing Vessel Wreck

This  is the wreck of a large, and old sailing vessel,  around 45 - 50ft long, that has been on the bottom for possibly a couple of hundred years. She has started to collapse into the lakebed, and the flow of water along the shoreline has started to move silt over her. In another 100 years she'll be buried.

She was a strongly built vessel, and in places the softer outer wood has rotted away leaving only the tough heartwood.

The large transverse members are clearly visible though, as is the remains of the keel.
