Canoe identification

[Dan R.]

Patrick, they did come from the cap. Could very well be escutcheon pins. I’ve read about them but never used them.

MGC, this is the same canoe. Maybe different/better lighting? The decks do look lighter. The original pictures also had the gunwale caps on both ends. I took them off for the new pics. The other difference is I added the wood strips to support the broken gunwales which brought the shape back in.

The previous owner said it was a BN Morris but it doesn’t have the wide stems and little, if any, tumblehome so I don’t think it is.

My mistake. I did not look carefully enough. Yes, the same.
Certainly not Morris or Huron.
I'd bet money on a Massachusetts builder, but probably be proven wrong.
