Hello,
The canoe with 116905 shows as a 16' Square Stern in CS (Common Sense) grade with open sprunce gunwales, oak seats, decks and thwarts, a keel, outside stems, floor rack and sponsons. It was painted dark green on top and Tropical Green on the bottom. It was shipped to Milo, ME in May or 1936.
A scan of the build record is attached.
Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at
