W.A. Whitney

A 100+ year-old cedar/canvas canoe by W.A. Whitney of Maine has come to my attention - probably beyond my means, but intriguing. I can't find anything about this builder. Anyone?
 
The list of Maine canoe Builders at http://www.wcha.org/history/maine-list.htm shows both Will and Andrew Whitney who built canoes from the 1890s to 1910 in Milo as you probably know. This list was originally generated for a 2001 exhibit titled "Bark to Canvas: The Evolution of a Maine Canoe" at the Penobscot Marine Museum so they may have more details. Let us know what you find.
