OT 179848

The Old Town canoe with serial number 179848 is 17 foot long Molitor model with a keel, outside stems, a mast seat, a mast step, and a Wahoo style aluminum rudder. It was built between January and February, 1968. The original exterior paint color was similar to the image at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design46.gif which was known as the design number 46. It shipped on February 20th, 1968 to Grand Rapids, Michigan. A scan of this build record can be found below.

This scan and several hundred thousand others 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 donate, join, or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
