Yeah, I doubt it’s even a hundred years old. I almost don’t even want to find out its story as it’s likely nothing that exciting. If I had to bet I’d guess it’s an old barge of some sort.
That ship could very well be old. Ships from the Viking era and older have been found in lakes in similar condition. It’s, of course, very difficult to tell, but if I were you, I would send it to someone who knows better.
I mean, you already have the photos and videos to give a pretty good idea of the ship.
It’s not that old. Granted I only had one class in marine archaeology but I see treenails poking out here and there and I don’t see a large keel. So I’m gonna guess built 19th or early 20th century and its a barge of some sort. Flat bottomed for river or lake work.

Those finds are typically found in deeper water where they’re protected from oxygen and sunlight.
