139282 was assigned to an 18' Guide with ash decks, seats, & thwarts and a keel. It was painted GS Gray and shipped to University of Maine at Orono. Apparently some of the moose got loose and it was returned to OT in 1952 for 13 ribs, 10' planking, OS Rails, a deck, new keel and canvas. 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

from encounters with non-conforming MOOSE! It will eventually make its way back to visit them or their grandchildren!
