but it's a Yankee...

Hi Paul-- sorry it took me so long to get to this...

Old Town 164232 is a 16 foot CS grade Yankee model, fitted with a keel and painted orange. It was shipped to W.L. Masters and Son of Chicago on June 17, 1957.

I've attached the scan of the record below. Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/ot_records/ if you want more details.

I know you're a WCHA member, but I don't know that I know if you'll be at the Assembly in July... if you'll be there, will you be taking a canoe?

Others reading this who are not WCHA members should know that they can join or make a tax deductible contribution so that services like this build record project can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA, http://www.wcha.org/wcha_video.php to watch a 10 minute video about WCHA and our programs and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to join.
