Welcome, the Kennebec canoe with serial number 19170 is shown on page 175 of volume three in the Kennebec ledgers. This was assigned to a 17 foot long Torpedo model, type A. It was planked by Mansell on September 26th, 1926. Thibodeau canvased it on October 16th, 1926. Saucier applied the first filler coat on the October 23rd, 1926. The second filler coat was applied by Thibodeau on the same day. Currie railed it on October 23rd, 1926 and then King re-railed in on April 2nd, 1927. The original color was medium green. It was shipped to location "27-117" on April 1st, 1927. This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it.
