looks more like an old rudder tbh but the difference is pretty much academic as they’d both share the same construction. even ww2 ships had metal clad wood core rudders still.

Likely part of the rudder on a three masted schooner. Many have sunk in the waters around RI

I appreciate the clarification. I would have thought it was Rhode Island France.

That’s a rudder. I’m a Merchant Mariner who worked in the engine room.

I’d like to dry that, clean it, refinish it, and make a hella cool unique table out of it.

I’d like to know how old it is and what kind of wood was used. There’s a whole story behind this.
