My guess is that you have the Carleton canoe with serial number 15641 since the Kennebec canoe with this serial number is 16 feet long. This is a 17 foot long, CS (Common Sense) grade, Carleton model with western red cedar planking, closed spruce gunwales, birch decks, birch thwarts, birch seats, and a keel. It was built between September, 1920 and July, 1921. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on July 26th, 1921 to Boston, Mass. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
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 will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. The tag on the bottom of the image at
