hey-Hey!!!, First of all, it is still crewed. I have no desire to meet any of its officers under such circumstances. Second, the Live Oak was not in its planking but in the revolutionary main gun deck supports that tied the massive cannon to the hull. The result was a ship that was faster and had heavier cannon. Those supports were removed during the 1920's restoration and nearly destroyed her. The replacements are white oak composites. cheers, Douglas
