LOVES Wooden Canoes
I know everyone loves the name the UFO threads and it has been awhile since I could contribute. So, name the Canadian Freighter!
Recent acquisition... 18 feet long, 46" wide, 17" deep, Y stern, not the original seats but the thwarts are and two have a curve to them, the deck shows no sign of ever having a plate nailed in, mast support would be original as well. No serial numbers on the stems it would appear. We are thinking Kildonan, but when comparing this to the one on Douglas Ingram's blog, they don't share certain qualities, like thwart shape, deck shape and the transom appears smaller on this one. This has the original canvas still and the PO purchased it Used in 1950. So if it were a Kildonan, it might have been one of the first they made.
