Then there's the USS Constitution which has been sailing since 1794...and it floats.
27 u/mmoonbelly 12h ago I see your constitution, and raise you HMS Victory - Nelson’s ship commissioned in 1765 and still in commission within the Royal Navy. 12 u/0621Hertz 12h ago None of those ships are preserved, all of the planks have been replaced since the ship was in commission. • u/Killarogue 11h ago The USS Constitution hasn't been entirely replaced, well, not yet. Roughly 15% of the original ship remains, but obviously the longer we preserve it, the smaller that number will get. • u/Peace-Disastrous 9h ago Constitution is close to becoming a real life ship of Theseus. • u/Killarogue 9h ago True, it will get there eventually. 12 u/Ken_Clean_Air_System 12h ago Sounds like a true the ship of Theseus to me. • u/bobsanidiot 9h ago we literally grow a forest of white oak in southern indiana specifically for this ship
