Hi,
Your canoe is a 25 foot, CS Grade (common sense or middle grade) War Canoe with Maine Cedar (northern white cedar) planking, open spruce gunwales, a keel, outside stems and a floor rack. It was built in 1947, painted dark green and sold to Camp Lawrence in Weirs, NH.
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 http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA andhttp://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.
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.

Good to hear that you're keeping the old girl (or guy) in service!
