The Kennebec canoe with serial number 13591 is shown on page 179 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 May 8th, 1920. The rails were installed by Baxter on May 29th, 1920. The original color was gray and it shipped to W. A. Roberts in Northville on July 21st, 1920.
