The Kennebec canoe with number 22261 is a 17 foot long Kennebec model type A as shown on page 130 and 131 of volume four in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by Morgan on May 10th, 1930. The canvas covering and first filler coat were applied by Giroux on August 9th, 1930. Leonard applied the second filler coat on September 20th, 1930. It was railed by Thompson on September 27th, 1930 and the "F 22" (Function number 22 or the keel?) was completed by Giroux on October 1st, 1930. The "F24" (Function number 24 or the thwarts?) were completed by Thib. on January 10th, 1931. The "F25" (Function number 25 or the seats?), "F26", and "F28" were completed by Thib. on January 17th, 1931. The original color was the design number 12. Kennebec never showed numbered designs in their catalogs so it is not clear what this means. The Old Town design number 12 is shown at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design12.gif but this was last shown in their 1922 catalog. It was packed by Lantigne on February 7th, 1931 and shipped on February, 16th 1931 to location 31-106. This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Does it still have the original paint design and can you attach some pictures? Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions,
