War Canoe history

147152 is on a a 25' war canoe in CS grade with spruce rails & outside stems. It was shipped to the American Red Cross in Aberdeen, WA in March of 1947. It was originally painted dark green. A copy of the build record is attached.

It looks as if Benson Gray did a search on this record in November of 2001 - so someone else had an interest.

Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. Please join WCHA or make a tax deductable contribution so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA, http://www.wcha.org/wcha_video.php to watch a 10 minute video about WCHA and our programs and http://www.wcha.org/join.html to join. If you are already a WCHA member, THANK YOU!

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.
