I would like to determine the year this canoe was built.
I understood the closed gunwhales to date the canoe to a pre-1910. Any information about that?
in the spirit of confusion/helping the mystery of the Morris serial numbers, is there any possibility that a code existed that was used which resulted in a four or five digit number being used?
Such as a different length, wood type, etc., in addition to a 'normal' dating number set? This could all be my 'brain' having nothing better to do, but you never know! Cheers!
