This scan and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail image attached below. It was shipped to Plattsburgh, New York on May 21, 1910. Also ordered were two number 2 spruce paddles (5’ and 5’6” in length) and a slat seat back.
The original exterior was painted dark blue, with a gold strip and something else that I cannot decipher.
It was built between November 1909 and April 1910. The Old Town canoe with serial number 12801 is a 17 foot long, CS (common sense or standard) grade HW (hravy wateer) model with red western cedar planking, spruce gunwales and ash decks, seats, and thwarts, spruce finish rails, outside stems and equipped with a keel.
