Old Town Build Record

[Steve Lapey]

Lets try again.

Could I have the build record for an Old Town, serial number 166552-16?

Thanks

Hi Steve, Old Town 166552 is a 16 foot CS (common sense or middle) grade Otca model canoe with a keel that was completed September--November 1957. Originally it was dark green. It was shipped to Downing's Boat Service in Alton Bay, NH, on December 17, 1957. Image of the scan of this record is attached below-- click on it to get a larger image.

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/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php 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.
