Curious about wooden canoes
A year or so ago from somewhere on these forums I was informed that my old Morris # 5298 may be circa 1908, but I have not been able to find out where that was. My boat is definitely a Morris and I have heard that there is a number plating list that gives an approximate date of manufacture. The number plate on my Morris is oval and was on the left side bow over the first rib behind the breast hook. I replaced the inner thwart section about 35 years ago and still have the tag number. Does anyone know where I might find the tag number date listing? A picture of my Morris and other canoes can be seen on my web site at http://johnmaciver.tripod.com/id13.html I know that the date will not be perfect, but the closest I can get will help as I document what I am doing. I am not yet sure of the model type.
