Old Town # 94763

The Old Town canoe with serial number 94763 is an 18 foot long, GS (Guide's Special or low) grade, Guide model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, spruce decks, spruce thwarts, spruce seats, half ribs, and a keel. It was built between May and July, 1927. The original exterior paint color was G. S. (Guide's Special) Green. It was shipped on August 22nd, 1927 to Forest Station, Maine. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image 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 don't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
