White by Old Town "Whitesport"

[Christopher Lovell]

Hello all,

I'm looking for information on a White by Old Town "Whitesport" canoe Hull ID: XTC79578-687.
I cannot find a catalog or specs online. I searched the Old Town Catalog archive purchased online from the WCHA and come up empty. Can someone help?

Thanks,

Chris

Old Town purchased the White canoe company in 1984. Your canoe was issued the Old Town serial number 279578 and hull identification number in June, 1987, just to confuse things. There is a White catalog from 1985 available from https://www.woodencanoe.org/product-page/the-historic-wood-canoe-and-boat-company-catalog-collection and the Whitesport page from that catalog is attached below. Let me know if this doesn't answer your question or if you want anything else. Thanks,

Benson

I was at the factory recently and able to get an image of this build record as shown below. Let me know if you have any other questions,
