Hello, I was hoping you could help me find some information on my 1930's era Old Town Canoe. The serial number is 95937 16. Thank you!
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 95937 is a 16 foot long, CS (common sense or standard) grade HW (heavy water) model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, ash decks, and equipped with a keel. It was built in 1927, although the specific dates of the build record are unclear, as is the original exterior color. It was shipped to Los Angeles, California on March 8, 1928. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail image attached 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 doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
