Looking For Info On Old Town 16 Foot With Serial #116028

The Old Town canoe with serial number 116028 is shown as 16 feet long, CS (common sense or standard) grade, Yankee model with western red cedar planking, open spruce gunwaless, ash decks, seats, and thwarts, and equipped with a keel. The canoe was built between June 1935 and January 1936. The original exterior paint was bright red. It was shipped to Ashland, New Hampshire on April 29, 1936. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the image attached below.

This scan and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to join.

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.
