Wooden Canoes are in the Blood
Need help in identifying this one. It has the dimensions of a pre 1938 Peterborough 12' Lightweight. I can find nothing else that comes close but...She's rough, has been previously recanvased and patched up but it still floats. Appears to be Canadian made. Specs. are: 40 lbs., width 30", depth 12", 1/4" x 2" wide non-tapered ribs angle cut on the sides and spaced 1 5/8" apart, nice tight 2 3/4" planking, short 1" thick x 5 1/4"w x 9 1/2"l decks. Stems look to be original but no numbers can be found. Standard keel was fastened through every second rib. Bow seat was originaly caned Anyone out there have pictures of a 12' Peterborough for comparison or any idea what else it migbt be? Thanks in advance.
