Hi, good afternoon!
I'm looking for the build record for Old Town serial number 209143. It is a 18' Chipewyan that I'd like to learn more about.
Thank you! Amy
 
Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 209143 is a 17 foot long Chipewyan Tripper model that weighed 75 pounds. It was built in July 1975. The original exterior color was green. It shipped on August, 1975 to Falls Village, Connecticut. A scan showing this build record can be found below.

This scan and several hundred thousand more 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/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/pricing-plans/join to donate or join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer this description doesn't match the canoe. Page seven of the 1975 catalog at https://adirondack.pastperfectonline.com/Library/21FA5A4C-6A4A-4F23-9692-433539293670 has more details. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
