Kennebec serial #19823
- Thread starter Ken Moore
- Start date
The Kennebec canoe with serial number 19823 is shown on page 104 of volume three in the Kennebec ledgers. This was assigned to a 15 foot long Kennebec model, type a. It was planked by Lantigne(?) on June 30th, 1928. The canvas covering was applied by Saucier(?) and the first filler coat was applied by Giroux(?) on the same day. The second filler coat was applied by Giroux on July 7th, 1928. It was railed by Mansell(?) on on July 28th, 1928. The original color was green. It shipped to location "28-1037" on July 28th, 1928. This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it. There is also a note about "in place of K-S" so it may have been shipped in place of a Kineo Special if those were out of stock at that time.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
