I'm trying to find out the manufacturing date and other information about this canoe. It was bought sometime in the 1960's that's all I know. Its serial number is #182004. Thanks for you help
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 182004 is a 15 foot long Light Weight model equipped with a keel. It was built between November and December 1969. The original exterior paint color was red. It was shipped to Shrewsbury, Massachusetts on May 23, 1969. The back of the card indicates that it was bought on June 19, 1969 by a person in Worcester, Massachusetts. Scans of this build record can be found by following the links behind the thumbnail images 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.
