Hi Jody,
Your canoe is a 16 foot, CS grade (Common Sense or middle grade), HW model (Heavy Water) with western cedar planking, spruce gunwales, ash decks, seats & thwarts. It was built in 1914-15, equipped with a keel, painted New Haven Green and sold to a man in East Machias, ME.
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 andhttp://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.
