St Louis Meramec

LOVES Wooden Canoes
I spoke with Wally Hauck a bit about this canoe, but did not have a serial number on it as of yet. Have a St. Louis Meramec serial number 730 17. Canoe is 17'4" from tip to tip and 36 inches at the widest point. Has OS stems, half ribs and carry thwarts. Canvas is off and one outwale is missing.

There is rot at the tips of the decks, stems and OS stems. Three ribs need replacing as well as one half rib. Thwarts and both seats appear to be original and in good shape aside from one seat being cracked.

She was in Kansas City, MO. The previous owner had no knowledge of the history of the boat. I will post up photos soon.
