I am looking for information about a 17 ft wood and canvas Old Town canoe with serial number 127604. Thank You!
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 127604 is a 17 feet long, CS (common sense or standard) grade HW (heavy water) model equipped with half ribs and a keel. The canoe was built between May 1939 and June 1940. The original exterior paint was dark green. It was shipped to Preston, Maryland on March, 1941. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail images attached below.

This scan and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe.

Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
