The Kennebec canoe with serial number 10135 is a 17 foot long Kineo model shown on pages 465 and 466 of volume two in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by Kimball on November 23rd, 1915. The canvas covering was applied by Roy on July 12th, 1919. Hansom added the filler coat on July 12th, 1919. Thompson added the rails on July 19th, 1919. The original color was red. It shipped to Wanamaker in New York on July 10th, 1920.

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