My father owns a wood canvas canoe, (without canvas) that he has had for a number of years in his barn. I was examining it the other day to see if I could identify it or get some history on it. It has decals on the bow and stern plates that say ...ry Ross Limited and below that "Loretteville, QUE". I searched a bit on line and found a snow shoe company named Henry Ross Limited. I am going to assume that is the canoe maker. My question is:
Anyone know more information about this company? Is there a serial number somewhere on these canoes? Is there any way to trace a history the way you can with Old Town's? It is a nice canoe, or could be, it needs restoration, but has a unique style to it and seems to be thinner profile than I am familiar with. Anyways, any info. would be appreciated. Thanks
