old town

The Old Town with serial number 153679 is a 16 foot long, AA (or top) grade, square stern model with open mahogany gunwales, a keel, outside stems, and a floor rack. It was built between December, 1949 and February, 1950. The original exterior paint color was dark green enamel. It shipped on February 23rd, 1950 to Collegeville, Penna. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.

This scan was 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/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 boat. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
