Thanks! The description matches the canoe. The canoe being sent to A&S in Brooklyn fits family history, as my great grandfather lived on Dean St. in Brooklyn, not far from A&S and the ferries that took the family to Connecticut where the canoe ended up. My father redid the canoe in the late 60's and had to replace some ribs. Based on the build description and that the thwarts are oak but have different aging/coloring than the ribs, it appears likely that the thwarts were also replaced.
