Old Town serial #113011
- Thread starter Dbrown1956
- Start date
The Old Town canoe with serial number 113011 is a 16 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, Otca model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, twenty inch oak decks, oak thwarts, oak seats, oval outside finish rails, a keel, and a bob stay painter mounted low on the bow for towing. It was built between October and December, 1933. The original exterior paint color was green to match a sample that had been provided. It was shipped on January 2nd, 1934 to Chicago, Illinois. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more 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.
