The serial number 14333 is shown on page 202 of volume two in the Kennebec ledgers. This was assigned to 17 foot long Kennebec model. It was planked by Cameron on June 19th, 1920. Roy canvased it and applied the first filler coat on the same day. Roy applied the second filler coat on June 26th, 1920. De Roche added the rails sometime in 1920. (The month and day are not clear.) It was originally painted green and shipped to Dudley on June 30th, 1920.
