Old Town serial number search

The Old Town canoe with serial number 11005 is a 16 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, HW (Heavy Water) model with red western cedar planking, closed spruce gunwales, and a keel. It was built between April and June, 1909. The original exterior paint color was N. H. (New Haven) green. It shipped on June 12th, 1909 to Mechanicville, New York. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
Several hundred thousand scans like this were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/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.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.
