Chestnut Canoe

[Susanne Ke]

17'3" long and 36" wide

From the shape of the deck plate it was identified as possibly a Chestnut

How can I get more definite information on this canoe?

Thank you,
Susanne

The dimensions listed at https://woodencanoemuseum.org/index.php/builder-history/chestnut-canoe-company may help you identify the model. Good luck,

Benson

Hi Susanne, there are a number of members here who can help you know if your canoe is in fact a Chestnut and what model? Benson has directed you to a great site but pictures of your canoe would help us.
Pictures of the deck, seats, ribs, along with the canoe's profile from the side and and end would be great.
Hope this helps?
Gary

Susanne, sounds like you have quite the quiver! Like Gary said, pics are always appreciated. Looks like an interesting group of boats, congrats!
