Old Town build history

The Old Town canoe with serial number 176077 is shown as 20 feet long, a Guide model with half ribs and fitted with a keel and a painter ring. The canoe was built in 1966, being finished on July 21, 19066. The original exterior paint color was white. It was shipped to Beachview Lumber Co., East Northport, New York on August 1, 1966.

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. 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.
