Antique E M White Wood & Canvas 18 Foot Canoe Ready For Restoration Very Solid

Antique Wood & Canvas 18 Foot Canoe - Ready For Restoration Very Solid. This is an early canoe in very sound condition that is eminently restorable. I have no idea of the true value but I have been told it is a rather important maker as well as as an unusual style with an additional “floorboard “ between each rib. I once new the term for this but, alas, the onset of senility wiped it from my mind years ago. I bought this canoe at a yard sale in the mid 1990’s with the intent to re- canvas it and use it for fishing but was told it was too good for that so it has nestled in the eaves of my barn for years till a barn restoration project relegated it into the back yard.

It needs some repair but there is no rot that I can see. It has brass trim at both ends of the keel that needs some work but is sound. The seats need caning which I could consider doing for a fee. I can supply more detail upon request. Included is the original maker’s plaque which I removed but still has the original brass brads.

Pick up only in Pembroke, Ma.
