Curious about Wooden Canoes
I would appreciate the statistics regarding an Old Town canoe with serial number 90354. It's supposed to be of 1927 vintage.
Thanks much, Pathologist

The Old Town canoe with serial number 90354 is an 11 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, fifty pound model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, oak decks, oak thwarts, oak seats, a keel, and a floor rack. It was built between March, 1926 and February, 1927. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on March 18th, 1927 to Brooklyn, New York. A scan of 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 as you probably know well. 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to renew.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Some production estimate statistics are available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/models.html including this model. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.

Thanks much, Mr. Gray, for the rapid response. The boat is currently on the market and in remarkably great shape, but in need of repairs that I can handle. Pathologist
