28012 was assigned to a 17' Otca in CS (Common Sense) grade with open spruce gunwales, ash seats, decks and thwarts. It came with a keel and floor rack installed. It was painted New Haven Green and shipped to Pioria, IL in May of 1914. A copy of the build record is attached.
Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. Please join WCHA or make a tax deductable contribution so that services like this can continue.
