The following things are included in this page Ships made after 1918 – This is a list of "oldest" ships launched before 1919. ![]() Underwater wrecks – There is an index with lists of shipwrecks. ![]() Replicas – There is an article on ship replicas.With these things in mind, the following are excluded Many old lightvessels survive worldwide to this day, unlike ocean liners of which there are very few pre- World War II examples. Many surviving old ships may also appear on other Wikipedia lists such as lightvessels. Those that remain underwater and intact are lumped into a separate category that focuses on shipwrecks, such as those found in the Black Sea. One example is the ship Mary Rose, whose raised and preserved remains consist of only a partial hull. Another separate issue is incomplete ships due to weathering conditions caused by their status as a former shipwreck, or by sheer neglect. These extensive reconstructions left little of the original ship remaining (nonstructural items). An example is the USS Niagara: the original sank in 1820 and was raised and reconstructed three times. This leads to a known paradox called the " Ship of Theseus", making the definition of "original" unclear. ![]() Ships that have been exposed to the elements gradually deteriorate over time, thus no ship can be considered truly original due to part replacements during a ship's life. While this list includes the "oldest surviving" ships, many have since been restored, and/or reconstructed. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources. This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.
