Bob Berry built wood canvas canoes in Sandwich,NH. those that I know of were built in the 50's and 60's for the Game Wardens on the New Hampshire Fish and Game. As a matter of utility they were eventually replaced by Grumman aluminum canoes. Berry canoes were usually 12 footers but I know of one 17 footer that was recently bought by a fellow in Tamworth. The rest were sent to salvaged as far as I know. The short canoes were very withy as I remember, but the last time I was in one was in the mid 70's.
