It's really long and quite wide but no sign of a mast. No idea what the history of this thing is.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I'm gonna guess that's a 19th or early 20th century barge, maybe hauled timber up and down the lake. Mentioned this in my other comment, I don't really know much but the construction sort of indicates to me 19th century because of the treenails you see sticking out of the wood and the mortised joints. No real keel and wide, means flat bottomed barge. Could be older but it is in pretty good condition for being so shallow so I'd wildly guess it sank 75 years ago.
