Welcome and congratulations, the Kennebec canoe with serial number 14599 is a 17 foot long Torpedo type a shown on page 232 of volume two in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by F. Roy on October 2nd, 1920. The canvas covering was applied by Roy on the same day. He added the first filler coat on October 22nd, 1920. Gilcash railed it. The original color was green. It shipped to location 24-722 on July 10th, 1924. This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it. The scans of these build records can be found below. These original Kennebec records are reproduced through the courtesy of the Maine State Museum.
