Curious about Wooden Canoes
Could you please send me a copy of the build sheet for Old Town serial number 160526.
Thank you. Ken Czaja

A boy scout canoe

160526 was issued to a 16' Yankee model in CS grade with a keel. It was painted "aluminum", a popular color in the years of the post war Grumman canoes. It was shipped to a Boy Scout Council in Torrington, CT in September of 1953. A copy of the build record is attached.

Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. Please join WCHA or make a tax deductable contribution so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA, http://www.wcha.org/wcha_video.php to watch a 10 minute video about WCHA and our programs and http://www.wcha.org/join.html to join. If you are already a WCHA member, THANK YOU!

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.

That's great that you are a member, Ken. Take no offense, the text is one we frequently use when we see a new name on the forum. We don't cross-reference with the membership list.

Welcome aboard!
