LOVES Wooden Canoes
I purchase a canoe listed as "possibly" a Peterborough Champlain Pleasure model but not certain of model. I pulled the model number list from the woodencanoemuseum.org site pages. The canoes listed with dimensions 16' X 33" X 12" are Algonquin, Huron and Champlain but the serial number on the stem (041) was not listed.
I am almost finished with restoration (need to paint) and it is a very nice canoe with beautiful lines. I mostly restore Old Town so will note difference that stand out:
1. outer stem is quite bulky with sides that flair out, come back to square and then flair in (see photo)
2. Outwale screws are 1 1/2" "round" head brass (see photo)
3. seats are hung with square dowels (see photo)
4. outer stems are connected with an allen like screw (see photo)
It was believed that this canoe was from the 50's so, possibly, a Huron????
Any and all advise is greatly appreciated.
thanks
