Old Town assigned hull number 117204 to a 16 foot CS ("common sense") grade Yankee model canoe, completed between February and June of 1936. It has red Western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, and ash decks, seats, and thwarts. It was fitted with a keel and painted dark red, then shipped to Camp Powhatan at Natural Bridge Station, Virginia, on June 8, 1936.
