Your canoe 13005 is a 16' CS Grade (Common Sense or Middle Grade) HW (Heavy Water) Model with western red cedar planking, spruce gunwales, ash decks, thwarts and seat frames. It has spruce finish rails, a keel and was painted dark red. It was built in 1909-1910 and shipped to Broklyn, NY.
The scan of this record is attached below-- click on it to get a larger image. This scan and several hundred thousand others 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 and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Providing photographs would help with identification, as would an accurate measurement of the boat's
length.
