Wide Mystery Paddles

Crosscuts
Does anyone know who used this wide paddle? They came with a 1917 Old Town Charles River canoe.
Dimensions: 60 1/4"L x 9 5/8"W and 53 3/4"L x 9 5/8"W. Perhaps for sprint races or steering a rudderless sailing canoe? They might be useful this winter shoveling snow in the North East.

Interesting paddles. Look to be in decent shape. I don't know how well they would work for snow removal but they could be re-purposed in a pizza joint.
