Info on Old Town Canoe
- Thread starter Jack
- Start date
The Old Town canoe with serial number 15116 is an 17 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Otca model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, ash decks, ash thwarts, ash seats, a keel, and a middle thwart. It was built between October, 1910 and April, 1911. The original exterior paint color was white. It shipped on April 26th, 1911 to Philadelphia, Penna. The back side of the record shows that it may have moved to Michigan by 1986.
Scans showing both sides of this build record can be found by following the links at the thumbnail images attached below. These scans 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.
Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
