Age and builder unknown but possibly by Waltham (Boston area). Builder’s serial number is 294.

Notable features: solid mahogany decks, torpedo stems, covered rails, wide shaped thwarts (one has one straight edge, assume for a backrest but canoe does not come with a backrest).
This canoe has been repainted in the past but otherwise appears to be mostly in good original condition. The canoe needs to be recanvassed as there are slow leaks in the fore and aft stems.
