Could I please have the Build Record for OT # 125133 or just 25133 - not easy to read. I am told this is a 1928 HW, 16 foot, but would like to confirm and see other original details. Thanks!

Hi Lew,
If your numbers ae accurate it's not 25133, which is a 18' HW in CS grade with sponsons and a floor rack - originally painted Navy Blue and delivered to Baltimore in June of 1913.
125133 is a bit closer - a 16' Yankee in CS grade, with ash decks, seats and thwarts. It had outside stems, a full length bang plate and was painted Princeton Orange.
Scans of both build records are 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 http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. Please join WCHA or make a tax deductable contribution 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. If you are already a WCHA member, THANK YOU!
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.
