cape cod paddler
Hi all. This is my first post anywhere so please bear with me. I was given an old wood/canvas canoe that was in the basement of a large barn on Cape Cod for the last 60 years. Before that it belonged to his neighbor. It's 16'x32x12 approx. closed gunwale with 2 1/2" tapered ribs. I have stripped the inside and the only number is #260 16 stamped on the seventh rib from the bow. The decks are 18" long and made of birdseye maple as are the seat frames and one thwart. I emailed Rollin Thurlow pictures and he thought might be a ca: 1915 OT Charles River but there are no numbers on the stems. I'll be happy to e-mail pics to anyone that might be able to ID the maker of this canoe. Thanks for the help!
