Cinderella. This sad canoe was an auction entry at the 2018 WCHA Assembly. It sold for little money and we hope it can go to the ball again. Any update from the buyer would be great. #woodencanoeheritageassociation #woodencanoes #canadiancanoemuseum I am wondering if Dan Miller raised his hand to scratch his nose and went home with this to add to his “roundtuit “ projects?

I am wondering if Dan Miller raised his hand to scratch his nose and went home with this to add to his “roundtuit “ projects?

It's still sitting out on the trailer if anyone wants it.

 

[Blott]

What manufacturer is it Dan? I am very pleased with my memory recall!!

 

[Dan Miller]

No idea. Probably one of the Peterborough area builders. Somewhere I have more details about it from Jim McL. but I don't know where it is at the moment. My recollection is that it was a dump rescue. Now it's someone else's turn to do a rescue?

I'm your Huckleberry. If it is available i will give it a go and brig her back to life.

 

[Dan Miller]

@Todd F , it's yours if you want it. It's in Cape Vincent, New York. I'll sweeten the pot with some really good coffee!

Hey Dan, going to try to send a direct msg

 

[Todd F]

OK, I am technologically embarrassed, no idea how to get a hold of you directly. Looking to head to CT after the new year from the Tidewater area to get a canoe from a solid member. Will put on the tire chains up new Tug Hill to meet up. Look forward to it.

Success, look forward to meeting and learning more. Appreciate the opportunity

That’s a great result. Thanks Dan and Todd. Happy Christmas.

Into The Mist. The bow of a 1950’s Chestnut Playmate cuts the mist and the mirror finish of the River Great Ouse. Early mornings often present the best paddling opportunities. #woodencanoeheritageassociation #chestnutcanoe #woodcanvascanoe

Dan, can you provide the dimensions of "Cinderella"? Working the transportation logistics. Will certainly not provide her any "glass" shoes. All wood and canvas! Considering purchasing a reliable canoe trailer for 4 boats. Any advice or suggestions appreciated. I have a full size truck.

 

[Todd F]

And Nick, appreciate the introduction! Will keep you informed of progress.

Happy Christmas from the WCHA. Have a great festive break. Social media posting will take a break over the period returning in the New Year. Stay well, warm and safe and thank you for your support #woodencanoeheritageassociation #canoemanart

 

[Benson Gray]

A bright and happy Christmas to all.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON ASSEMBLY! This is the 2014 Assembly as it has never been seen before! Ed and Zach Heaton, owners of Above The World Films, flew their Phantom 1 and Phantom 2 drones high above the beautiful campus of Paul Smith’s College and captured stunning video of the breathtaking scenery and the full scope of the Assembly. This image was taken from an early morning flight #wcha #canoe #woodencanoeheritageassociation #woodencanoe #paulsmiths #adirondacks #paulsmithscollege
Save the date for the 2022 WCHA Assembly 12th-17th July at Paul Smiths college NY

This is a one owner canoe now owned by Nick Dennis WCHA -UK It shows the close connection in design terms between canoes built on either side of the Atlantic. 1890/1900 Turks of Kingston, wide board in Spanish Cedar. Lovely 16’6” canoe found in a boathouse. The owner was 95 years old and had a photo taken by her father of her in it at the age of 5

INTO THE WILD-
Dave McDaniel paddles up into the Tamarack trees on a beautiful fall afternoon in late 2009. The setting is a backwater bay of the AuSable River known as Cooke Pond, just west of Oscoda, Michigan. Dave’s canoe is a 1940’s era Thompson Indian, built in Wisconsin. #wcha #canoe #woodencanoeheritageassociation #woodencanoe #ausableriver
