The Kennebec canoe with serial number 16258 is shown on page 284 of volume three in the Kennebec ledgers. This was assigned to 17 foot long Katahdin model type A. It was planked by Lantigne and Gilmore on May 6th, 1922. The canvas covering was applied by Tuttle on June 3rd, 1922. The first filler coat was applied by Soucie on the same day. Tuttle applied the second filler coat on March 24th, 1923. It was railed by Gilmore on March 31st, 1923. The original color was red. It shipped on April, 7th 1923 to location "23-55". This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it.
