It seems to be the way they stack stone of boats. I've heard of several buildings being roofed with slate recovered from wrecks which had been down a hundred years or more, and the slate was still perfect
Admittedly this boat has been down a lot longer than that
still reckon the slabs would be good enough to put to use now :)
