There is a schooner here in New Jersey, A.J. Meerwald. When she was rescued from a mudbank, she was carefully documented and dismantled. There were only two small pieces re-usable for her reassembly. She is still considered a restoration. When originally built, in the 1920's she was built of green wood and expected to survive for about 10 years in commercial use. She sails as New Jersey's official tall ship. By the way, cost of restoration with donated labor and services still came in over $1,000,000.
