Who hid my paddle?

I vote for 12833. What ever that's worth...
Well, Kennebec skipped number 12888 and 12883 was 17 feet long. Both 12838 and 12833 were 16 feet long while 12828 had a full length stem band. I agree with Paul that this one is probably 12833 but the records for both are shown below. Their number 12833 is a 16 foot long Kennebec model type a as shown on page 175 of volume two in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by F. Roy on May 17th, 1919. The canvas covering and first filler coat were applied by Roy on the same day. He applied the second filler coat on June 7th, 1919. It was railed by W. Thompson on June 14th, 1919. The original color was not specified. It shipped to H. G. Krogman in Saginaw, Michigan. on June, 16th, 1919.

Paul, fwiw----priceless. The canoe has been in Saginaw all along and is now soaking in my pond here in the Kingdom of Derelict Canoe Whispering.
