Mystery Canoe

[colepell]

Hello everyone!

This is a 19' wooden canoe that I was looking to identify. Initial thoughts was a Chestnut. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, cp.

CP, I did a 26 foot chestnut a couple of years ago, exact same deck and inwale configuration as yours. Dragonfly has good chestnut info. Dave

exact same deck and inwale configuration as yours.

Inwales notched into the decks and half-ribs?

ok, senior moment, just turned 50 I knew this would happen. Not a chestnut. I did do one just like it. I'll try and find the info on it.

Dan:

The inwales are definetely notched into the deck. I guess I don't know the answer to whether or not they are notched into the half ribs, but the half ribs are approximately 1 3/8 inches wide while the full ribs are approximately 2 3/8 inches wide. Does this help?

Inwales notched into the decks and half-ribs?

Sorry. Neither the way the deck and inwales come together, nor the presence of half-ribs, are typical features of Chestnut canoes.
