Old Town Sailing Canoe
- Thread starter EriktheViking

Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with the serial number 167215 is a 16 foot long Guide model with thwarts in place of seats and a keel. It was built between February and May, 1958. The original exterior paint color was bright red. It shipped on June 2nd, 1958 to Seattle, Washington. A scan showing this build record can be found below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more 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/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. The sail rig wasn't mentioned so that was probably added after it left the factory. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
