184600

The Old Town with serial number 184600 is a 15 foot long Trapper model with a keel. It was built in between February, 1970 and June, 1971. The original fiberglass exterior was clear to show the natural wood. It shipped on June 9th, 1971 to Millerton, New York. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the thumbnail image attached below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description don't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.

LOVES Wooden Canoes
Thank You very much.
Factory fiberglass, I thought as much as it has held up so well. The canoe needs new inwales,(punky), decks, stem tips, seats and gunnels but ribs, plank and stems are good and the fiberglass is good, some stress cracks and split around the stems. The canoe has some hogging but when the thwart is replaced on new inwales it should help improve
I picked it up very close to Millerton, NY where it went from the factory.
Thanks Again very interesting to learn this information.
