John Visser Curious about Wooden Canoes Dec 17, 2024 #1 Just finished up this 1923 Molitor. Is it pronounced Moe-liter or moll-itter? Or some other way? Attachments PXL_20241215_202029735.jpg 304.2 KB · Views: 71
Benson Gray Canoe History Enthusiast Staff member Dec 17, 2024 #2 Nice restoration, I have always heard it pronounced with three syllables and each "o" is long, as in Mol-i-tor. Think of "monitor" with an "l" in place of the "n". I don't know how Charles Molitor's family pronounced it in the early 1900s. Benson
