The Kennebec canoe with number 16935 is an 18 foot long Kennnebec model type 3A with mahogany rails and outside stems as shown on page 213 of volume three in the Kennebec ledgers. It was planked by Roundy on November 25th, 1922. The canvas covering was applied by Tuttle on December 16th, 1922. The first filler coat was applied by Grant on December 16th, 1922. The second filler coat was applied by Thibodeau on December 30th, 1922. It was railed by Toulouse on April 7th, 1923. The original color was medium green(?) with a half inch gold stripe. It shipped on April, 13th 1923 to location 23-137. This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it.
