Kennebec Canoe
- Thread starter smallboatshop
- Start date
The Kennebec canoe with number 14443 is an 18 foot long Kennnebec model type A as shown on page 212 of volume two in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by A. Lantigne on August 14th, 1920. The canvas covering and first filler coat were applied by Roy on August 28th, 1930. L. Thibodeau applied the second filler coat on December 11th, 1920. It was railed by Toulouse on December 24th, 1920. The original color was green. It shipped on April, 26th 1921 to Norway, Maine.
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) as you probably know well. I hope that you will join the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Good luck with the restoration,
Benson
