Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 181315 a 16 foot long FG (fiberglass) model that weighed 86 pounds. It was built in August, 1968. The original exterior gelcoat colors were yellow on the hull with white on the deck. It shipped on August 28th, 1968 to Staten Island, New York. The back side indicates that there was a phone call about this canoe on August 29th, 1977 from Neptune, New Jersey. Scans showing both sides this build record can be found below.
These scans and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join, or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.
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.
