Canoe Pilot
The Three Rivers' Chapter has been gifted a Peterborough Chaplain Pleasure canoe. The canoe was bought new at the factory in 1953. It came to us in the original condition. Our plan is to restore and donate it to the WCHA Auction in Peterborough next year.
I'm stymied by the fact that this canoe is 13 1/4 " deep. The book said it should be 12 inches. Everything else checks out, i.e. bow seat and thwart location, 16 ' long, 33 " beam at the water line and 31 3/4" canvas to canvas. Model # 1434. Serial # 6229.
Any thoughts... Thanks Fred
