Ship Timbers
|
|
We are offering some large timbers that were being sailed from Washington to England in 1909. The story we’ve heard is that the timbers were to be used to build ships for the Queen’s navy. The timbers are stamped HRM, (Her Royal Majesty?). A storm hit off Grays Harbor, Washington and ship and cargo went down. These timbers were underwater for 90 years before they broke free, floated to the surface and washed ashore. Some farmers pulled them to safety with tractors. Crossroads has the last load of these timbers that we know of.
The material is straight, grayed. Knots are small and far between. It is very heavy due to the fact that the already green wet timber in 1909 was underwater for 90 years. We don’t know how much salt water they took on because they were probably fresh cut, already heavy and wet when they sank.
They’ve stayed straight and true with a bit of minor checking on the outside faces but no major heart checking. A few sides look almost sandblasted from years on the ocean bottom. This is awesome material.
