Exactly.
Any loot made of wood should be eliminated.
You only want Loot Skull chests, loot chests, loot pouches and royal chests.
Takes time, but that's the point of sailing.

Unless you crash constantly going to port and sailing in general; then waiting for a full cargo bay can easily waste your time.
