Amazing that it was intact. The old growth trees were huge. There's a few places where they have been preserved.

There have been quite a few intact canoes found in the lakes (Carolina bay lakes) in eastern NC. The water is very acid, the canoes became buried in sediment and were/are preserved. Amazing when they are discovered and it is a very real connection to these people and their way of life. Thanks for posting.
