Welcome and congratulations, the Kennebec canoe with serial number 19512 is an 18 foot long Kennebec model type A as shown on page 153 of volume three in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by Cameron on September 24th, 1927. The canvas covering was applied by Roy on October 8th, 1927 and he added the first filler coat on the same day. The second one was applied by C. Thibodeau on October 22nd, 1927. The rails were installed by King on October 29th, 1927. The original color was red. It shipped to location "28-1159" on August 15th, 1928. This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it. The scans of these build records can be found below. These original Kennebec records are reproduced through the courtesy of the Maine State Museum.
The microfilms and scans of these records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA). A description of the project to preserve other records like these is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/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 https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
