Dunno. I've got the book, but haven't read it. I'll check it out when I get the chance. The wood being carbon-dated to 1410 doesn't mean a lot, unless there was *bark* that tested to that year, because no one builds ships out of year-old trees. I think this "leaves" (so to speak) this junk to a time later than 1421. :')

Somewhere around here there are a couple more FR topics about this title, but anyway, here's the cover and links:
