The Kennebec "Kineo Special" canoe with number 2808 is shown on pages 246 and 247 of volume four in the Kennebec ledgers as serial number 102808. This was assigned to 17 foot long Kineo Special Model. It was planked by Pooler on June 21st, 1930. The second filler coat was applied by Leonard on September 6th, 1930. It was railed by Thompson on October 18th, 1930. The "F 22" (Function number 22 or the keel?) was completed on November 6th, 1930(?) by Thib.(?). The "F 24" (Function number 23 or the rails?), "F 25" (Function number 25 or the seats?), and "F 28" (Function number 28 or painting?) were all completed by Leonard on April 25th, 1931. The original color was green. It was packed by Lenteigne(?) on April 25th, 1931 and shipped on May 12th, 1931 to location "31-205". This location is probably an order number but we don't currently have enough information to identify it.
