Build Record Request

LOVES Wooden Canoes
I picked up my next project last night! The previous owner believes the canoe to be a 1962 old Town. The serial number looks to be 174054 16. Is there a record for this canoe ? Any info is much appreciated. Thanks.

The Old Town canoe with serial number 174054 is shown as 16 feet long Guide model built with narrow planking (2 ¾”) and equipped with a keel. The canoe was built between June August 1964. The original exterior paint was royal blue. It was shipped to Seattle, Washington on November 20, 1964. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail images attached below.

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 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 doesn't match your canoe.

Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
