Dear folks,
A very special and ancient pair of Peterborough boats (canoe and craft) have been uncovered over in Scotland and I am helping the owner find out more about them. Any help would be most appreciated. I think they could be approximately 100 years old.

The canoe Model is 30 and Serial 805. I believe the craft is 30/8058.
They also have a stamp: Peter Bebbington, Engineer, 1781/1586, Glasgow.
I have also contacted the Canadian Canoe Museum.

Pictures attached,
Many thanks
All the best
Sean, Pitlochry, Scotland

Thank you for your help Paul - it looks like Peter Bebbington was active in 1904. I gather from other forums on WCHA that as the canoe has less than 4 digits in the number it is certainly pre-1939. Many thanks, Sean
