Peterborough Plank And Canvas Canoe - Pre-1941

Peterborough Plank and Canvas Canoe Restoration just completed – 12/15/2021 Canoe Dimensions: 16 x 33 x 12The exact date of build and the exact model are still to be fully determined. I purchased it listed as a “Peterborough Champlain Pleasure Model” but not certain that is the correct model. Peterborough was in business from 1892 to 1961. The model number on this canoe is 041 indicating that it was built prior to the change to a 4 x 4 digit “serial model” number in 1940 or 1941. So, based on dimension16 x 33 x 12 and 3 digit model number, this canoe model might be an Algonquin(1929 – 1938) or Otonabee (1929 – 1938) or Champlain Pleasure (1938 – 1941).

See Wooden Canoe Museum web site for additional Peterborough information. The outer stem guard is copper, seats are handwoven cane and there are wooden outer stems and keel. This is very beautiful canoe and one that I would not mind keeping.I can deliver to within 100 miles free of charge but added cost if greater distance. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
