Naw, more likely it finally broke off the main hull and floated to the surface.

I think the implication is that it got released from the wreckage, which would be at the floor of the ocean.

So let me get this straight. Some part of a ship has just been floating around in the ocean for hundreds of years?

Reply to When a builder found a dirty old boot under Hobart barracks, little did he know he'd stumbled upon rare treasure - Major find for early colonial history in Australia. by ArtOak
When you find stuff like a boot somewhere, how do you know to call in experts on this stuff?
I’m out digging all the time for work (utility company) and we dig up all kinds of “junk”, 99% of it, to me, just seems like old trash that got buried. How would I know to say “wait, let me see that” before tossing it into a trash bin or something?

The idea of Sam Bellamy making one of those time capsules like gradeschool kids is hilarious....
The idea of John King being the same age as those gradeschool kids is a lot more unpleasant to think about.

They are injured or bled to death, I don't imagine a zebra walking away with a 1foot stick inside it's bowels, humans have evolved to hunt down their injured prays over long distances while inflicting multiple shots from safe distances. You spend your precious arrows but get rewarded afterwards.
