Depends on where it is. In the Atlantic Ocean it will last several hundred years, but not in real good shape. I just saw a NGEO program on ship wrecks in the Black Sea and the water is so deadly to living things that nothing can live in it so the wooden ships found are in perfect condition. Ballard is doing the research with his robot underwater device and they could still see the cut marks on the wood of a ship that is 1,000 years old. That's pretty good.
