I'm curious how many people believe that Noah's Ark has been preserved somewhere such that it might someday be discovered.

No. I can't see how it could have lasted this amount of time in a harsh environment. Would not the timber have been scavenged for housing or even firewood? Anything is possible, but I find it highly unlikely.

Waterproofing. It was likely very rough seas. Timbers move with shock and vibration and the pitch is flexible to maintain the seal.

Unless it's frozen beneath a mile of ice somewhere. Maybe global warming will reveal it.

I don't believe it ever existed.
The ark encounter in Kentucky was build with modern equipment and tools and it's suffering from rain damage that didn't last 40 days.

Probably to seal off the irritating gases and dust that the raw lumber would put into the air, which could seriously affect the health of all over time.

In a sense it has been diiscovered by many.
The word "Ark" also means "Word".
Today, making a living can be more difficult than splitting the sea,and with all of today's noise deafening us,
life can be a storm with swerling waters threatening to drown us.
Therefore, go into the Ark, go into the Word and find rest from the storm.
If it still exists or not the lessons are still there.

I don't think Noah's Ark was likely to have been real, but I have wondered about the glacier flow on Mt. Ararat. It seems that anything in the glacier on Mt. Ararat from 4000 to 5000 years ago would have come down the mountain by now. But I suppose a hypothetical Noah's Ark could have become stuck against a rock formation and stayed on the mountain all this time.
I guess there is the "Ice Man" found in the Alps as an example of preservation under ice on a mountain.

Also there is reference to the Flood in the gospels (by Jesus) and one of the epistles of Peter.
I suppose it is possible that Jesus did not actually believe in the Flood as history but was merely referencing something from Jewish mythological tradition as an American might reference the story of George Washington chopping down a cherry tree while knowing it to be only a story.
Another possibility that appeals to me is to allow for the possibility that Jesus was just as mistaken about many things as other people in his culture. Maybe what made Jesus divine was his instincts and likes and dislikes. Jesus the human may have had identical likes and dislikes as God while being a completely ordinary human in all other ways. But the will of Jesus was identical to the will of God. If Jesus the human could have known all that God knew then his wishes would have been identical to God's wishes in all circumstances. However, Jesus the human didn't know everything that God knew, because he was a human, so he submitted and trusted in God's will like any other human should. I like this idea, because it explains how Jesus could be human and divine simultaneously.

If it were just a myth and Christ was mistaken, I wonder the odds that it would be recorded it came to rest on the 17th of Nisan, the same day as the resurrection.
I think it becomes a statistical improbability when you consider the name Noah in the genealogy of Genesis 5 we've all become familiar with, because it clearly links the name Noah with the rest that Christs death would bring:

The Ark was real, as for it being preserved. It could be (may be parts as a whole not sure), but there really is no need for it to be preserved, the Ark served its purpose.

I think it's fairly obvious that the whole episode is a myth: the geological record isn't partisan, and neither are the laws of physics.
Even if we tried to salvage a supposedly historical core by demoting the global Flood to a local natural disaster, there's still too much wrong with the story to make any kind of sense outside of myth and fiction.

The story has been papered over with man-made myths, Satan inspired no doubt.
The 'geological record' is a straw man argument as a global flood won't leave uniform global evidence.
