This fuzzy canoe is temporarily estimated to be around 500 years old. It's great that it's remained in such good shape during all these years. Yet, I don't think it can be properly classified as "ancient". Indeed, if we had remnants of the Nina, Pinta or Santa Maria from when Columbus sailed the blue in 1492, we would hardly classify these artifacts as "ancient".

I've got an Ancient CD of Microsoft 2007 lying around somewhere.

Maybe I can donate it to the Smithsonian.

I still have a computer that used to 5 1/4 “ floppies, one to store the data and one for the word processing program. It, too, has moss on it, but was used in my youth.
