Found an interesting piece of wood came ashore. This small piece luckily included a nail. Any idea of the possible date of this piece?

Found this piece on Dauphin Island in the early morning. The hammered nail was very intriguing. Any idea the age of this ship-piece?

Looking forward to replies. Thanks!

Looks old

A lot could be determined I guess. Might take a bit of hands on analyzing to pinpoint a possible age. I can only guess its old by the type of nail or spike I see in it. It could be from a wood ship or old wood pier.

99+ % of all wood found in the sea is from land structures such as docks and piers. Very little is from shipwrecks.
