Could someone please post the build record for OT 143031? Should be a 17' AA-grade Otca. Thank you.
Old Town 143031
- Thread starter H.E. Pennypacker
- Start date
The Old Town canoe with serial number 143031 is a 17 foot long, AA (or top) grade, Otca model with open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, a keel, a floor rack, rudder, mast seat, and step for a sailing rig. It was built between October and December, 1945. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on January 29th, 1946 to Pine Castle, Florida. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. 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 renew.
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,
Benson
