Sail and Paddle Magazine?

[John Sand]

I have an issue of Sail and Paddle, An Aquatic Monthly Journal, January 1889. Did it continue publishing? This is the first issue, though it is intended to continue The American Canoeist, so it's labeled Volume VII, No. 1.

Page 1267 of the Union List of Serials in Libraries of the United States and Canada, Volume 1 at the link below indicates that it it existed from 1889 to 1890 and it "Merged into Rudder" in 1891. More information may be available from the Library of Congress. Does your issue have any interesting information or advertising?

It is an interesting look at life and canoeing at the time. There are classifieds for well known boats and builders and some ads for accessories that didn't catch on to my knowledge. There are some menus for club meetings and reviews of the events.

Can you provide scan(s) or a list of the canoe builders mentioned? I am keeping a dated list of canoe buiders to help with questions about who was building when. The lists of Maine and Massachusetts builders at https://wcha.org/catalogs/maine-list.htm and https://wcha.org/catalogs/mass-list.htm are one result. I have currently confirmed 13 canoe builders from 1889 in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Thanks,

Benson
