Build Sheet Needed

Lost One

Curious about Wooden Canoes
A friend has an Old Town that they might be selling. Could you please provide the build sheet for serial number 194617 15
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 194617 is a 15 foot long lightweight model with a keel, outside stems, and two painter rings. It was built between April, 1973 and February, 1974. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on March, 13th, 1974 to Newbury, Mass. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.

This scan and several hundred thousand more 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 donate, 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 renew.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your friend's canoe. The information at https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/57/ may help your friend if they plan to sell it. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
