Troll wrecked boat- no cargo crate, nothing.

Okay, long story short, hit a rock in a storm, had to put into shore for repairs. Dark forest. Of course there was a Gray Dwarf welcoming committee. And the noise of fighting them brought a Troll. So I ran off into the forest to hide. Snuck back just in time to see him smash my Karve to splinters. Now, I saw the wreckage and the cargo crate. Hid in the woods until it stopped raining, and once I was rested and my Eikthyr power recharged, I went back in daylight.
Nothing. Not a nail, not a scrap of wood, nothing. Had her beached in shallow water, too.

I have left cargo crates and bodies for a long time, and they were always right were I left them. I haven't slept in the game, so that's not it.
Has this happened to anybody else? Or should I report the bug?

Problem is, I think the island I'm on is entirely Dark Forest. And all my Fine Wood that I need to either build a new ship or to build a portal went down with the ship. No birch trees- no Fine Wood. I can't even build a raft without boars to hunt.
On the plus side, I haven't set a spawn point on this Island. Last place I slept was in the meadows, so I can always respawn there.

I just had a Gjall blast my longship. I got to the wreckage just after I finished it off, and there were crates there, and the ship parts were there (nails at the bottom, of course), but some of the items in storage were in the water, not in crates. My assumption was that some of the crates were destroyed in the conflict after the ship was sunk.

What you're describing seems pretty short for despawn, but I don't know what else it could be.

tide takes crates out to sea you pretty much have to get them as soon as you see them because it doesn't matter that you parked in the shallows if it was low tide.
