Out of curiosity, I looked at some more ships from the list of oldest ships.
The Charles W. Morgan is the second oldest ship still afloat, after the U.S.S. Constitution. She was a whaler and is berthed in Mystic Connecticut.
The Tarihi Kadirga is the oldest surviving galley, an oar-powered ship type. Very neat.
The Pesse canoe is about 10,000 years old and is the oldest surviving watercraft, apparently. Boggles the mind!
