16' Thompson Brothers Boat

[Scott Barkley]

I have a 16' Thompson Brothers Row Boat with a brass tag, built in Peshtigo, WI. Any information regarding what dates these boats were built from and materials used would be helpful. Thank you. Scott Barkley

Thompson Bros. Boat Mfg. Co. started at Peshtigo, WI in 1904. They made dozens of different models of row boats and they were always changing them.

Is there a hull ID stamped into the wood of the transom, inside the boat? If yes, what is this?

If she does not have a hull ID, there is no definitive means to get an exact year.

You can purchase the old brochures on a CD-ROM from www.wcha.org (right here on this site) and www.dragonflycanoe.com
