Serial # 189745 16'

[Vermonter]

Hi,
I recently aquired an Old Town Canoe. It is 16' long. It is made of fiberglass (i believe) and has 3 openings in the top. The openings in the front and back are seats and the one in the middle is larger for storage. The serial nuber is 189745. Any history on this canoe would be helpful,
Thanks

Serial # 189745 16

Old Town Serial Number 189745 belonged to a 16-foot red and white Berrigan built in 1972 and shipped to Atlanta in 1973. The Berrigan was a decked fiberglas C-2 with a center hole for storage.

The scan of this record is attached below-- click on it to get a larger image. 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 and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA 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.php to renew.

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.
