the wooden pegs and brass nails (spikes)--- make me think 1900 to 1700 era -- they need to have the wood sampled -- the type of wood used in its construction could tell you where it was made at ( local type hardwoods us or foreign woods.) the build methods used can help in aging it as well
--- spanish treasure vessels had hull sheathing --copper in the later eras --lead earlier --to prevent worms found it the tropical waters from boring thru their wooden hulls --as they sat in port loading treasures on board. --they need to look at the wood for small nail holes from the sheathing --if they are thinking treasure vessel
