OOPS, I missed a number.
The serial number for this canoe is 103146. The six was covered with dirt. Sorry.

The Kennebec canoe with serial number 103146 is a 17 foot long Kineo Special model shown on pages 282 and 283 of volume five in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by Mansell on November 21st, 1931. The canvas covering and first filler coat were applied by Thibodeau on November 28th, 1931. Mansell added the second filler coat on March 4th, 1933 and then added the rails on April 1st, 1933. The "F 22" (Function number 22 or the keel?) was completed by Thib. on April 8th, 1933. The "F24" (Function number 24 or the thwarts?) and "F28" (Function number 28 or the painting?) were completed by Thib. on June 3rd, 1933. The original color was green. It shipped on July 3rd, 1933 to location 33-231. This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it.
