Theseus

The Athenians preserved the ship on which Theseus had sailed,
taking out its planks as they decayed and replacing them with
new, stronger timbers. Thus it became a standard problem for
philosophers, exemplifying the question of growth: some held
that the ship was still the same ship, others that it had become
a different one. 
Plutarch, Lives, Vol. 1
