I had though "Live Oak" was a generic term for how some Oaks grew rather than a specific species.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_oak Either way despite the lack of knowing the correct description the right Oak is very good for marine use. Sad but years ago near me in Barrie Ontario we had what was reported to be one of the larger stands of White Oak in Canada. A developer needed to beat a pending municipal law concerning cutting of mature trees so early one morning a team of loggers came in and clear cut the whole property. I tried to get some of the wood knowing its properties. The crew laughed and said I didn't want it, they could barely cut it even with sharp chains.
