Kennebec Katahdin type A

[Kathryn Klos]

The Katahdin first appears in the catalogs of the Kennebec Company of Waterville, Maine, in 1922.

The canoe in the picture was shipped June 12, 1927. Current color and design was based upon what originally appeared on the canoe.

Video footage of this canoe may be found at:

A few more shots...

I'm including images of a Kennebec backrest and its label, which probably dates from the teens.
