The Old Town canoe with serial number 224699 is shown as a 17 feet long Chipewyan, Tripper model. The canoe was built in February 1979. The original exterior paint was yellow. It was shipped to Lafayette, Louisiana on February 27, 1927. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail images attached below.
This scan and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue.

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.
