I saw that this morning too. I can't imagine it's too old due to the use of nails and such, but it'll be interesting to hear what the archaeologists have to say.

I'm interested to hear what it might be, every once in a while you hear about a much older dugout canoe being found. I actually saw a post about one that CMD had commented or posted on I believe it was fairly recently. But could be wrong
