Looking to find information on Old Towne canoe 135466
Serial Number Search Request 135466
- Thread starter Lois Phelps

Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 135466 is a 16 foot long, AA (or top) grade, Yankee model with open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, a keel, a floor rack, and painter rings half way down from the top on the bow and stern. It was built between May and July, 1942. The original exterior paint color was fire red with the name Arlona on the left bow. It shipped on July 8th, 1942 to East Syracuse, New York. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Canoes with a family history are always extra special. Feel free to reply if you have any other questions.
