Langford canoe company -another try

[Grizzle]

I may be being more unobservant than usual but I seem to be unable to find information about the original Langford company and its boats. Also, I'd like a sight of the earlier, Pentagon decal please. Enquiries to the Peterborough canoe museum, and the to the current company, have been unproductive..........

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, yes, saw this. I have to admit I found bits of it quite depressing, and none of it very illuminating. Our boat is clearly pre-buy-out. http://canoe-at-little-log-cabin.blogspot.ca/

That's why I would like some earlier info if possible.

i was up in their dorset shop in 1989, back when it was still back when, talked to the builder/owner at the time. I can't find the literature from then tho. Here is an early 90's brochure, when they were still primarily a wood/canvas shop building in dorest. a few years later, it became a label for canoes built elsewhere...

This is so very kind of you!

This is the only info that I have been able to find anywhere so far! At least I now know that the name Algonquin is a real possible - and the approximate weight I'm aiming for!

If anyone else comes up with any more information, I'll be so pleased to receive it.
