It's probably not the same wood since 1890. Requires more repairs and replacements.

- SoftTalker 11mo agoI think there's a good chance it is. Not out in the sun, not in contact with ground/moisture, pretty consistent temperature. Wood can last a very long time under those conditions.
- bluGill 11mo agoIt could be. A lot of wood has been around for longer than that. Wood is easier to damage so I expect some has been replaced over the years, but there is no reason to think it wouldn't last in that application.
- jeffwask 11mo agoYeah, I watch mine exploration videos and it's shocking how well wood in a dry and stable environment will last.
- paleotrope 11mo agoI wouldn't exactly call the environment on the green line as dry, especially in the summers.
- Perz1val 11mo agoMaybe the chemicals they've used to treat the wood were so hardcore
- IAmBroom 11mo agoThe city of Venice is literally built upon timbers driven into the seafloor. That haven't ever been replaced.
