Vintage Peterborough Canoe Company wood-and-canvas canoe, 16 feet long with approximately 33-inch beam and 12+ inch depth.

The canoe has been much loved at a family property on Twelve Mile Lake, Ontario, since at least 1955 and quite possibly longer. Exact year and Peterborough model are unknown; no readable serial/model number has been located.

This is a substantially complete canoe but is being sold as a restoration project, not as a water-ready canoe.
Condition:
* Original wood ribs and planking substantially present
* Traditional wood-and-canvas construction
* Hull retains a good overall shape
* Red-painted canvas remains substantially intact but is deteriorating/separating in areas near the gunwales and requires attention
* Some leaking has occurred around the keel area
* Gunwale/rail and stem areas require restoration
* Cane on one seat is damaged and needs replacement
* Interior woodwork shows considerable age and patina

Some temporary tape repairs are visible in the photographs. The canoe has not been restored for sale. It is being offered in its current condition in the hope that someone with an interest in historic Canadian wooden canoes will restore and preserve it.

Location: Twelve Mile Lake, Ontario, Canada, near Minden/Haliburton
Asking: C$1,200 OBO
Pickup only.

Additional detailed photographs are available. I would be happy to provide measurements or photographs of particular areas to anyone seriously interested.
