Ferry Boats Rotting Away in Utah

There are at least 2 historic ferry boats left in Utah that are rotting/rusting away and need to be preserved. The first is the old wooden ferry boat at the upper Alhandra Crossing on the Green River --- it is resting in the river and only the redwood internal framework of the craft remains. The other is the steel ferry boat that was in operation at the Sand Wash Ferry operation in 1952 when it was washed away by high water and deposited high on the riverbank on river right, just below the present-day launch ramp for rafts. Does anyone have any ideas about how to salvage, stabilize, and preserve these historic features?
