Looking for information regarding my wood canvas canoe #13595 made by Kennebec Boat & Canoe Co. I would appreciate any history on it. Thanks!

The Kennebec canoe with serial number 13595 is shown on page 178 of volume number two in the Kennebec ledgers. This was assigned to a 16 foot long Kennebec Model. It was planked by Stackhouse on January 3rd, 1920. The canvas covering and first filler coat were applied by Roy on the same day. The second filler coat was applied by Roy on April 10th, 1920. The rails were applied by Huard on April 17th, 1920. The original color was blue and it shipped to Stoneman on May 7th, 1920.

More information about this and other Kennebec models can be found in the Kennebec catalogs contained on the Historic Wood Canoe and Boat Company Catalog Collection CDs available from http://www.wcha.org/catalog/ and http://www.dragonflycanoe.com/cdrom.htm on the web.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if these descriptions don't match the canoes. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
