Some 23 feet of the vessel—which is 39 feet long—are still in very good condition. It should buff out.

Probably the main threat to sewn boats was a rip tide.

Maybe someone needed the knitted boat to look for pearls.

Will do, and same here. Most of the perishable stuff from antiquity and prehistory vanished long ago. Ancient and even prehistoric watercraft were lost in largely undocumented events, and yet their traces sometimes survive in some form and quantity.
Plus, y'know, boats.
The ancient skipper had the same problems as modern one -- he's got the expense of acquisition and maintenance of the ship, plus the risk of operating it, and his idiot buddies show up with one small jug of wine and expect to be greeted as heroes...
