The Kennebec with serial number 15879 is a 17 foot long Kennebec model shown on page 281 of volume three in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by Lantigne on January 28th, 1922. The canvas covering was applied by Tuttle on the same day. Chamberlain applied the first filler coat on the February 11th, 1922. Thibodeau applied the second filler coat on April 8th, 1922. It was railed by Thompson on April 10th, 1922. The original color was red. It shipped to Wanamaker's in New York on April, 20th(?) 1922.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
