Kenebec Boat and Canoe Co.

The Kennebec canoe with number 19351 is an 18 foot long Kennebec model as shown on page 152 of volume three in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by Cameron on March 19th, 1927. The canvas covering was applied by Grant and the first filler coat was applied by Gilbert on the same day. Roy applied the second filler coat on May 28th, 1927. It was railed by King on June 11th, 1927. The original color was red. It shipped to location 28-132 on May, 15th, 1928. This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it.

The scans of these build records can be found by following the links at the attached thumbnail images below. These original Kennebec records are reproduced through the courtesy of the Maine State Museum.

The microfilms and scans of these records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA). I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue.
