Details
Yes Benson, I have been unloading the photos from the camera. Steve and I went to the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath to look at the D.B. Neal canoe in their collection to get some details for missing pieces on my canoe.
But they had a few other canoes, including this big Guide. The story is that the canoe was purchased from the factory in 1941, hung in a barn, and never, ever used. It was donated to the museum by a local family It did look like new. It was nice to see a factory fresh canoe.
The pictures are not great. It is a big canoe in a small space. Maybe Steve has some that are better.
The canoe did have a keel installed.
Photos are my photos with permission from the Maine Maritime Museum, Bath, Maine.
Cheers,
