The "F 22" (Function number 22 or the keel?) was completed by Giroux on the same day. The "F24" (Function number 24 or the thwarts?) were completed by Thib. on March 15th, 1941.

The canvas covering and first filler coat were applied by Thib. on the same day. He applied the second filler coat on April 2nd, 1937. It was railed by Vigue on April 3rd, 1937. The "F 22" (Function number 22 or the keel?) was completed by Thib. on April 10th, 1937. The "F24" (Function number 24 or the thwarts?) were completed by Thib. on June 126h, 1937. The original color was red. It shipped on June, 26th 1937 to location 37-214. This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it.

The rest of the second half of my first message in this thread applies to this one so I won't repeat it.
